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. 

Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. BASF is leading the way towards climate neutrality in the chemical industry: new technologies powered by green electricity reduce CO₂ emissions for our products. Renewable and recycled raw materials keep valuable feedstocks inside the circular economy so they can become new products again and again. Find out how BASF aims to achieve net zero CO₂ emissions by 2050.

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?
