“Universe” exhibition at the Mirador Interactive Museum

The astronomical exhibition "Universe" at the Mirador Interactive Museum (MIM) in Santiago (Chile) contains 2D and 3D luminous interactive elements that simulate the experience of plunging into space for the visitor. The entrance is followed by a corridor (in the picture) where opposed mirrors reflect and multiply the luminous elements, creating a feeling of depth. The exhibition, inaugurated on 4 September 2008, was co-funded by ESO through the Joint Committee ESO-Chilean Government. The MIM contains interactive modules on different fields of science and is the most visited museum in the country.
