Theme
In 2019, it will have been 150 years since the world saw for the first time Mendeleyev’s Periodic Table of Elements, one of the pillars of modern chemistry. Therefore, the theme, selected in cooperation with UNESCO, is something that pervades our lives, accompanying us wherever we go – from the soles of our shoes and the tarmac of our roads to the beauty of fireworks:
CHEMISTRY
Sub-themes:
- Importance of fire for the humankind
- Alchemy and alchemists
- Atom, molecule, compound
- Memorable discoveries (metal processing, engine...)
- Chemistry in everyday life (packaging, cosmetics, drugs...)
- Colours around us
