Participate in our public engagement activities

Engage with science and art in our exhibitions and events held at CERN and across the world

Since 2018, the Exhibitions and Events programme has offered spaces for public engagement with CERN through artistic expression. In collaboration with leading cultural and scientific institutions worldwide, this programme highlights the influence of science on contemporary culture and the role of artists in exploring its impact. Since 2023, artworks created during the residencies have found a dedicated space in the CERN Science Gateway
