DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Harry Cliff (University of Cambridge & Science Museu
 m\, London)\nOn 12th November 2013 the Science Museum in London launched C
 ollider\, a major temporary exhibition about the Large Hadron Collider at 
 CERN. The launch event was attended by Peter Higgs\, Stephen Hawking\, Rol
 f Heuer and the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer and attracted significant m
 edia attention and critical praise in the UK and internationally. By the t
 ime the exhibition completes its London run it will have attracted over 50
 \,000 paying visitors and from May 2014 begins an international tour to mu
 seums in Europe\, Asia and Australia. Developed with the support of CERN a
 nd targeted at a general audience\, the exhibition  uses techniques from t
 heatre\, video art and exhibition design to create the atmosphere of a vis
 it to CERN\, with the aim of engaging the public with the science\, engine
 ering and day-to-day reality of work at the LHC. Visitors are led through 
 a series of theatrical reconstruction of spaces at CERN\, including the ma
 in auditorium on the day the Higgs boson discovery was announced\, the LHC
  tunnel and even the 1970s offices where much of the data analysis takes p
 lace. Authentic artefacts including superconducting magnets\, components o
 f the four main LHC experiments and a champagne bottle drank by Peter Higg
 s are set in context\, telling physics\, engineering and human stories. Th
 e exhibition also brings the community of CERN to life\, through a dramati
 c re-imagining of events leading to the discovery of the Higgs boson and a
 uthentic video and audio recordings of engineers and physicists working on
  the LHC. We will present an account of the development of the exhibition\
 , the new approaches used to engage the public with particle physics and t
 he results of the audience research that has been conducted during the Lon
 don run.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2025/contributions/1022/
