Galileo-Wissenswelt Fehmarn is a multi-themed interactive museum located on the Baltic island of Fehmarn. The facility is divided into three distinct exhibition areas: the Technikwelt (Technology World), the Wissenswelt (Knowledge World), and the Abenteuerwelt (Adventure World). These sections feature over 300 interactive stations designed to explain scientific, physical, and historical phenomena. Exhibits range from natural history displays and historical artifacts to hands-on mechanics and brain teasers. The museum is housed in a former agricultural building complex that has been repurposed for educational tourism. It specifically targets families with children by focusing on tactile learning experiences. The museum layout allows for independent exploration of varying scientific disciplines in a single visit.
