Office of german scientist Dr. Mathias Garny who is searching for 'dark matter' and astroparticles
"This is the mecca of particle physics."
"Most of it looks like a fairly undistinguished campus"
"The money has not been spent on the buildings – the money is all underground' … offices at Cern."

Inside the exhibtion space 'The Globe of Science and Innovation', a landmark for CERN "The Globe is undeniably becoming the landmark for CERN."
The round screen shows the map of the Large Hadron Collider, where the tubes and research stations of the experiments like LHC/CMS/AMS are located
"Under my feet are the colliders and detectors that are helping us understand what the universe is actually made of."
"Underground, of course, are the tunnels, where beams of light are smashed into each other."
"Every expense spared, except for an Antony Gormley sculptural scribble 'Feeling Material XXXIV', which hangs in building 500 - it is obvious these people have their minds on something higher than decor."
