Beauty and fascination of the earth

We experience how beautiful the earth is when we travel or hike through it. But it radiates a special fascination from a bird’s eye view. Let yourself be inspired by the beauty of the earth and at the same time discover the manifold treasures it holds

At focusTerra, ETH Zurich’s Earth & Science Discovery Center, you can experience first-hand throughout the year what holds the Earth together – or causes it to break apart. With us, you will discover the beauty of the Earth and the fascinating treasures it holds. At our program at Scientifica you can feel earthquakes, experience the color spectacle of nature or explore crystals and minerals.
