Explora, Museum and cultural heritage monument in Nordend-West, Frankfurt, Germany.
Explora is a museum housed in a former military bunker that focuses on optical illusions, three-dimensional images, and interactive physical experiments. The space contains multiple exhibition rooms where visitors can explore these phenomena through hands-on displays and demonstrations.
The building began as a military defensive structure before being transformed into a museum space. Later, the structure received official recognition as a cultural heritage monument in Germany.
The collection features holography and three-dimensional stereo art that visitors can engage with directly. These works invite people to learn about science through hands-on exploration rather than passive viewing.
Visitors can access exhibit information through the museum.de mobile application, which offers multimedia features, maps, and QR-code scanning. The hands-on nature of the displays allows independent exploration, and the app can deepen your understanding of the exhibits.
The museum is housed in a bunker structure physically embedded in the ground, creating a compressed exhibition space with low ceilings. This architecture gives the experience an unexpected intimacy and makes the perception of space itself part of the optical experiments.
