Show
Suitable for all ages
- 12:00. Tesla demonstration – One of the main attractions at Vitenfabrikken is our amazing Tesla-coil! It was the first one in Norway to be available for visitors. Will you be one of the lucky ones chosen to catch a 700,000 volt arc!? P.S. remember to borrow protective ear muffs for children.
- 13:30. Colours and flames – Experience an entertaining and educational show in the Auditorium. Our very own artist, scientist and firefighter is looking for new colours to create art. You will of course recognise the colours red, green and blue, but our hosts are not satisfied with only these and are looking for new ones. Join the hunt for other colours by examining light, colours and flames to make something new and exciting. Free tickets available in reception, subject to availability.
