    Heureka’s expertise in designing and producing exhibits ensure a high-quality learning experience. We believe that the joy of discovery belongs to everyone and therefore, our exhibitions are designed to appeal to all age groups.

  • Concept Exhibitions

    When purchasing a concept exhibition, you will receive the idea and guidelines to how to create an inspirational, high quality and engaging exhibition of your own design.

    When you choose a concept exhibition, you can find the best cost-effective production and design for your own purposes, no matter where you are. Also, a part of the development is localised to create tailor-made content closer to your audience and its culture: you will be developing your own exhibition, but faster. Ultimately, it is a co-creation process where you can reinvent the outcome and still have the essence of an exhibition developed with Heureka’s high standards. As an experience, it
    is unique and unrepeatable.

  • Content Creation Consultation

    We can identify the topics and provide the required tools to create memorable experiences. Consultation is always tailor-made for your purposes and to meet your needs.

    An intensive consultation based on topics that interest you and your team. The topics can vary from idea identification and content development to exhibition design process and exhibit production. The expertise in providing unique experiences and engaging exhibitions, know-how and
    problem-solving are some of the skills you will benefit from Heureka’s team members facilitating this workshop. The workshop is oriented to provide tools for the exhibition creation process and offer you the required know-how to face new challenges and/or overcome existing ones.

Travelling Exhibitions

Heureka’s temporary exhibitions cover a vast number of different themes. We offer both rental and sales turnkey packages that include exhibit design, installation and maintenance services. You can also pick and mix the exhibits in any way you like.

All our exhibitions have a solid scientific background and have been tested in our science centre. Over the years, Heureka’s exhibitions have covered a vast variety of themes and topics. With up-to-date themes, our expertise in content design and production ensures a fun educational
experience for all ages. Rather than creating an exhibition from scratch yourself, you can rent or purchase a Heureka exhibition and literally save hours of your time and money. Furthermore, if you decide to buy a copy, you are free to rent it further to others. You can choosea turnkey solution of any exhibition in our portfolio.

Examples of these are Children’s Heureka, Move and Play!, 20X0 – A Journey into the Future and the Science Circus. More than 30 Heureka’s exhibitions have already travelled in almost thirty countries and been visited by 29 million people worldwide.

languages simultaneously, with exhibition sizes ranging from 300 m² to 600 m². We pay special attention to technical requirements of travelling exhibitions in the production phase.

Individual Parts of the Exhibitions

You can also pick and mix the exhibits in any way you like. You have the possibility to choose just one piece, or an entire collection to
complement your existing exhibition. This enables you to prolong the lifetime of an existing exhibition in a cost-effective way. By buying individual parts of our other exhibits, you can also upgrade and expand the theme of your own exhibition.

Customized Copy of an Exhibition

Often the exhibition is perfect as it is, but there are times when it might lack a specific necessary element for your market and its customers. Some exhibits may simply not match your market due to their cultural context. For those situations, we offer the possibility to tailor the exhibition according to the specifics known only to you.

Science Workshops

The Science learning programmes provide a practical, inquiry and phenomena-based method for science and STEM subject learning. The learning programmes support science and cross-curricula learning, future workforce skill learning, communication, and teamwork. The learning
outcomes include a better understanding of science and STEM subjects and science working skills, ICT use and sustainability.  Children are proven to gain learning outcomes from participating in learning programmes and visiting exhibitions at a science centre (H. Salmi, H. Thuneberg, M-P. Vainikainen 2017, J. Falk, M. Storksdieck 2005).

Heureka can provide ready-made themed learning programme concepts including learning targets, necessary material and equipment lists and full manuscripts with background information and tips and instructions for facilitating the learning programme for students.

Heureka’s learning programmes are tested in practice and have been run multiple times at the Science Centre and thus been polished to
operate smoothly and provide the wanted outcomes. The learning programmes are divided into selected themes, e.g., chemistry,
sustainability, and electronics. Employee training is included in the concept. The ready-made science learning programmes are an ideal fit for museums, science centres and edutainment companies and provide an inspiring offering to deepen scientific understanding of visitors.
