| Science affects our daily lives and shapes our perception of the world. The engine of change is the desire to question everything around us. What revolutionary discoveries have we made concerning ourselves, our health, our planet and our universe within the past one hundred years? The exhibition consists of Science Lounge and four themes displayed as flagship stores: System Earth, Life and Mind, Beyond the Visible and Better Health.
System Earth
The Earth is constantly changing. Almost everything is interconnected on our planet: volcanoes, earthquakes, the climate, ocean currents, landscapes, erosion, animal and plant life. We humans also have an effect on the phenomena on Earth.
Life and Mind
Science has significantly increased our understanding of what and who we are and where we come from. We all have a unique set of genes that greatly influences our development and lives. Our brains have a lifelong ability to change. It is the interplay between our genes, the environment and our own actions that shapes us into what we are.
Beyond the Visible
A century ago, physics was considered a completed field of science. In a few decades, however, everything changed: it turned out that the laws of physics could not be applied to everything. Now we have a totally new way of looking at both the infinitely large and the infinitely small.
Better Health
The life expectancy of people born in the Western world has doubled within a century. Vaccination, antibiotics, hygiene, contraception, and health and medical care have reduced child mortality and guaranteed an increasing life span for a growing number of people. |

 | Op 22 maart jl. vierde Prins Pieter -Christiaan van Oranje-Nassau, Van Vollenhoven, zijn 39e verjaardag bij Soldaat van Oranje – De Musical. In aanwezigheid van zijn echtgenote, ouders en drie broers met hun echtgenotes bezocht de familie de voorstelling in De TheaterHangaar in Katwijk. Als de Duitsers in 1940 Nederland binnenvallen, leeft de Leidse student Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema met zijn Leidse vrienden een onbezorgd studentenleven. De dan ongeveer 23-jarige jongens realiseren zich als donderslag bij heldere hemel dat niets meer hetzelfde is. Vriendschap en liefde zijn niet langer vanzelfsprekend. De oorlog zet alles op zijn kop, alle verhoudingen op scherp. Iedereen moet zijn eigen keuzes maken...: Ga je vechten voor Vrijheid, Volk, Vaderland? Studeer je door met je kop in het zand? Of kies je doelbewust voor de vijand? Soldaat van Oranje - De Musical is gebaseerd op het waargebeurde verhaal van één van de grootste verzetshelden uit onze vaderlandse geschiedenis: Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema. Aan het begin van de oorlog ontsnapt Erik naar Engeland van waaruit hij zendapparatuur naar Nederland smokkelt en als piloot betrokken is bij bombardementen op Duitsland. Hij wordt adjudant van Koningin Wilhelmina en ontvangt voor zijn verzetswerk al tijdens de oorlog de Militaire Willemsorde, de hoogste Koninklijke onderscheiding. Zijn beroemde boek Soldaat van Oranje werd in 1977 verfilmd met Rutger Hauer in de titelrol en is nu op vernieuwende wijze te zien als musical in De TheaterHangaar op voormalig Vliegveld Valkenburg bij Leiden. In een regie van Theu Boermans en naar een script van Edwin de Vries spelen de acteurs rondom een draaiende theaterzaal en brengen ze mede dankzij de muziek van Tom Harriman en de teksten van Pamela Phillips Oland en Frans van Deursen de indrukwekkende historie weer tot leven. Dit verhaal moet verteld worden. |

 | From April 7th SEA LIFE welcomes 2 new residents. The two female otters will move into their new private home which is bigger than the average student housing and even includes a waterfall. These Asian short clawed otters come originally from India across the South Chinese border. They are family of the marten and the weasel. They use their tail and back paws to swim and they use their front paws to eat (like a chipmunk). To keep the right body temperature, the otters eat a lot of food, daily about 15 percent of their total body weight. Their diet consists of snails, insects and fruit. Meet the new members of the SEA LIFE family in Scheveningen and learn more about them in this exciting exhibition and how you can help to protect them. |

Het ondersteunen van goede doelen via de Stichting Madurodam Steunfonds is een van de belangrijkste onderdelen hiervan. De Jeugdgemeenteraad gaat een aantal projecten van het fonds bezoeken en beoordelen. Djoeke staat er niet alleen voor.
