Life with Energy

Axporama is the Axpo visitors' center and is staging the "Life with Energy" exhibition.

The Axporama is the Axpo visitors' center at Böttstein Castle (AG) and is staging the "Life with Energy" exhibition. Awaiting you here are fascinating insights, clear answers to tricky questions and hands-on scientific experiments.

How is electrical energy extracted from sunlight? How much electricity do we need a day? What goes on behind the socket?

Our interactive, multi-sensory exhibits, coupled with attractively prepared sheets packed with facts and figures make this a highly educational tour for young and old alike. We will tell you all about all the key issues to do with the environment and energy over two floors. It is complemented by background information in the basement about how we live and our planet. All the exhibits relating to the various ways of producing energy are housed on the ground floor.

Axporama – the perfect day out

There is rich variety in the countryside around the Axporama. If you are taking a walk around the shores of the nearby Klingnau Reservoir or through the idyllic vineyards in the Lower Aare Valley, it is also well worth stopping off at the Axporama. Awaiting you is a wealth of exciting, scientific information about the environment and energy.
