PROTO Second Floor is now open!

Good explorer, get ready to get your hands dirty!
The last two months have been filled with mysterious hustle and bustle, hammering and the crackling of new ideas at the PROTO Invention Factory. We have been keeping the second floor under a veil of excitement to prepare for something truly extraordinary. Now the wait is over – As of May 5th, PROTO’s renewed second floor is officially OPEN!
This isn’t just another update. This is the first and most exciting phase of the biggest overhaul in PROTO history, where the line between fantasy and science blurs.
The new exhibition area is designed on the principle that the greatest discoveries come when you are in control of the process. There is no place for “Please do not touch” signs here – on the contrary, it is your role to set things in motion!
What can be found in the new area?
-
Mastery of Light: Test your precision and guide a laser beam through a complex mirror maze. It’s a game of light and physics where every degree counts!
-
Power of the Steam Age: Feel like a real machinist as you roar into motion with an authentic steam locomotive model. This is a tribute to the era when the world’s greatest inventions were born.
-
Try out a zoetrope and see for yourself how static drawings become magical animation.
-
Journey into the invisible world: Grab a microscope and explore what is hidden from the naked eye. Discover the structures and details hidden within everyday objects.
-
Perception and Reality: Experience how light, shadows, and movement affect what we see. Can you trust your eyes, or is it all just a clever illusion?
Why come now?
We have spent two months honing every cog and tuning every laser to provide you with the best possible experience.
-
Be among the first: Come and capture your discoveries in a new area before others!
-
For the whole family: The new floor offers the joy of discovery for both little explorers and big tech fans.
-
Experimentation is a must: In PROTO, making mistakes is part of the game. If the first attempt doesn’t work, try again, change the angle and discover something completely new!
PROTO’s renovated second floor is complete. The machines are oiled, the lasers are aimed, and the doors are unlocked.
