CERN Science Gateway has welcomed its 500 000th visitor, just 16 months after it opened to the public. Since October 2023, the Laboratory’s education and outreach centre has been a must-visit for tourists to Geneva, showcasing the science, discoveries and technology of CERN in an interactive way, housed in a unique building designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano.
Damian (left) and Saira (right) took a two-day trip from Zurich to Geneva, with an obligatory stop at Science Gateway. He is an architecture student, she studies mathematics, and both were excited to discover CERN.
As a thank you treat for their visit, Damian and Saira enjoyed a meal at the Big Bang Café and received the book edited by the Renzo Piano Foundation about the construction of CERN’s science and outreach centre.
