Get inside the world's greatest scientific experiment.

The Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS) is bringing the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experience to the Powerhouse Museum in an Australian first exhibition from 11 August to 30 October as a part of the 2016 Sydney Science Festival.

Collider provides a behind-the-scenes look at the CERN particle physics laboratory in Geneva that houses the LHC. The LHC is the largest, most sophisticated and most powerful scientific device ever made, most famous for proving the existence of the Higgs boson, otherwise referred to as the "God Particle", and for getting doomsday theorists all up in a tizzy. 

Blending theatre, video and sound with real artefacts from CERN, the exhibition puts visitors at the heart of an experiment that recreates the conditions that existed just after the Big Bang occurred 13.8 million years ago.
