The Pass is a unique place. In 10 exhibitions, you can play, learn, touch, dream, and most of all have fun. Discover how the world changes, how the different sciences and technologies influence our everyday life. Enjoy nature in the 28-hectare park. Take a walk on the slag heap or take your children to the playground. The Pass is situated on the historical site of a former coal mine. It was renovated by the architect Jean Nouvel. Its exceptional architecture is really worth a detour.
The Pass: 10 exhibitions on the most varied subjects. Don't miss the Palace of Images! You will discover the film "Is there a future for the future?" and "H2O !" shown on 5 giant sides of a cube to understand the challenges of sustainable development.
