Are you ready to feel the force of gravity, measure your reaction time, and understand how sudden braking affects the human body? The interactive exhibition “Adrenaline” invites you to push your limits and explore science through personal experiences.
Opening on March 18th at the Energy and technology museum, the “Adrenaline” exhibition will allow visitors to experience how the human body reacts to extreme situations. In this exhibition, speed, gravity, force impact, and reaction time become more than theoretical concepts – they turn into personal experiences. Specially designed exhibits will let visitors test their reaction speed, balance, and endurance, revealing how our senses change under different forces.
Exhibition “Adrenaline” – a model of institutional cooperation. It came to Vilnius from the “AHHAA” Science Centre in Tartu, Estonia. At the Energy and technology museum, it is curated by the museum’s exhibition curator, Karolis Gužas.
“Adrenaline” is more than an exhibition – it is an exciting journey into the world of science, where theory becomes reality, and knowledge transforms into personal experience. We are thrilled to present this unique exhibition to the people of Vilnius and visitors to the city! This project marks the first collaboration between these institutions, strengthening international ties and contributing to museum partnerships in Lithuania,” says K. Gužas.
Scientific knowledge at the heart of the action!
Science is often perceived as a collection of theoretical knowledge, but the “Adrenaline” exhibition allows visitors to experience this knowledge firsthand. The exhibition is designed for both children and adults looking for an engaging and meaningful way to spend their time. Interactive experiments will help visitors better understand the world around them, reinforce or expand their physics knowledge through personal experience. Special educational programs will be offered to teachers and students, allowing them to delve deeper into natural sciences.
“The goal of museums and exhibitions is not only to display exhibits, but also to create experiences that spark curiosity, encourage experimentation and inspire new ways of learning,” says Mykolas Bistrickas, Director of the Energy and technology museum.
“The exhibition “Adrenaline” is an interactive way to understand physics and biomechanics principles, develop critical thinking, and inspire students to take an interest in STEM subjects. These sciences form the foundation of a strong country, as they drive industry, technology, and innovation. Our mission is to show that science is anything but boring – it can be discovered not only in books or classrooms but also through personal experiences,” states M. Bistrickas.
Experiences Awaiting Visitors
The interactive exhibition “Adrenaline” will be open from March 18 until August 31, 2025. Visitors will find unique interactive exhibits that allow them to experience the laws of physics firsthand:
⦁ Gravity Loop – ride a bicycle through a loop and experience the effects of acceleration and energy transformation.
⦁ Load Simulator – feel the force of inertia during a sudden stop and understand why seat belts are essential.
⦁ Acceleration Track – experience the G-force effects that astronauts undergo.
⦁ Jump Slide – experience Earth’s gravitational pull and the relationship between kinetic energy and your body mass.
⦁ Stimulus for fingers – experience how the strength of an electric current changes with body resistance.
⦁ Reaction Test – assess whether your reflexes are fast enough to counteract gravity.
⦁ Parachute Simulator – experience the forces of free fall and deceleration.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore other interactive exhibits. The “Adrenaline” exhibition offers a unique chance to experience science with your own body!
