The start of a journey

The exhibition explored the brain and how it learns with a focus on children, drawing on the expertise of BOLD, which works with a vast network of experts.

Visitors to the exhibition could learn about the biological, social, emotional, and cultural factors that influence brain development and cognition, such as brain plasticity, environment, lifestyle, physical activity, and diet. The exhibition featured many quizzes, interactive screens, and activities that allowed visitors to test their knowledge and create their own inspiring learning environment.

Having previously focused on the history of coffee and global interconnections, the museum is now embarking on a new journey, embracing the Jacobs Foundation’s pledge to help every child reach their full learning potential and thrive together.
