20 years of phaeno ...

20 years circle of friends

2025 was a very special year for the phaeno. To mark its 20th anniversary, many things were moved, modernised and further developed. The exhibition is constantly evolving - with new content, current topics and fresh perspectives on science and society.

The Freundeskreis phaeno Wolfsburg e.V. (Friends of phaeno Wolfsburg) sent out a strong signal: with great commitment, the iconic exhibit Ames Raum was made possible and donated to phaeno for the anniversary. An exhibit that symbolises a change of perspective, amazement and joint work.

Time to say thank you - for 20 years of support, trust and passion.
Time to look back and look ahead together.

Even before the opening of the phaeno Bricks special exhibition, the members of Steineland Harz + Heide, one of the largest Lego®-fan group in Germany, were on hand to answer questions from the phaeno circle of friends.

Artists such as Teun de Wijs from Amsterdam and Taylor Heanue from Boston were also able to meet the phaeno friends.
