BananaRama in Potsdam: A tropical research journey in the biosphere

With BananaRama – a research journey to the banana, an exhibition starts in the Biosphere Potsdam that connects science, nature experience, and curious exploration. The show focuses on the banana as a fascinating research object and shows why varietal diversity, agricultural research, and food security are globally interconnected.

Between tropical house and research lab

The exhibition opens the view from the lab to the field and explains how new banana varieties are created, what role plant diseases play, and why international research remains crucial for the future of food. Particularly, the cooking banana is at the center, complemented by interactive elements and selected exhibits that make the topic tangible.

An experience for the curious, families, and knowledge enthusiasts

Those entering the biosphere experience not only a classic exhibition experience but a dense event atmosphere with tropical ambience. The interplay of natural scenery, learning, and experience creates an audience mood that invites lingering. For families, school classes, and anyone interested in science and sustainability, BananaRama offers a varied approach to a highly relevant topic.

Science with a global perspective

The exhibition was realized by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. It is based on the work of the global research partnership CGIAR. This not only provides a vivid framework for the topic but also a clear professional classification: Food security and climate change are not abstract terms, but real challenges that demand answers today.
