Exhibition on Black Holes

The Space Museum will launch a thematic exhibition, leading visitors to explore the enigma of a black hole.

Spanning across seven different zones, the "Black Hole: the Information Barrier" exhibition will unfold the history of black hole research, unravel the intricate anatomy of black holes as well as their intriguing births and deaths. Featuring interactive exhibits, visitors will be able to have a simulated experience of plunging into a black hole, hear haunting sounds converted from gravitational waves created by black holes, uncover the technology of producing black hole images through 3D puzzles, and learn the scientific principles underpinning the detection of gravitational waves. It will also delve into the mind-boggling black hole information paradox and provoke thoughts regarding the potential utilisation of black holes as a new resource.

The free exhibition will last until May 27, 2024. Astronomy film shows and lectures related to black holes will be held by the museum. More information can be found here.
