Our exhibition in the Visitor Center

A warm welcome to our greeting floor! It is nice to have you here! We would like to reward your curiosity. With surprising facts. With vivid examples. And with a lot of background information. A highlight of the floor: The "City of the Future" presents upcoming global challenges that BASF is already dealing with today. With the help of moving screens, it is possible to select colored windows of the city, behind which the challenges of the present day and the future are concealed.

Climate change and environmental protection are the greatest challenges of our time. With circular solutions, BASF therefore wants to create chemistry for a sustainable future. In this context, the circular economy is a key topic for the future. The idea here is to decouple growth from resource consumption. Find out how BASF uses resources for as long as possible, minimizes waste and creates value with renewable raw materials.

Diapers, cookies, perfume: just a few examples by means of which we show you how often chemistry plays a role in everyday life. We also put your senses to the test. Can you distinguish between artificial and natural colors, materials and aromas? Give it a try! A highlight of the floor: The "Periodic table of elements" contains 103 elements. What do chemical elements look like under a microscope? What are they used for? Who discovered them and what properties do they typically exhibit?
