Initially built for the Swiss national exhibition Expo.02 and originally named Palais de l'Equilibre, the Globe was donated to CERN for its 50th anniversary in 2004 by the Swiss Confederation. Since then CERN has used the Globe as an outreach and communication tool.

CERN Science Gateway is a place to explore CERN and science through authentic, innovative and inspirational experiences. It is CERN’s new education and outreach center, where we take visitors on a unique journey building on the physical proximity to CERN, its accelerators, detectors, facilities and people.
