The Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS) -transports' the world's greatest science experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), to the Powerhouse Museum in an Australian first exhibition from 11 August to 30 October as a part of the 2016 Sydney Science Festival.

An exhibition from the Science Museum, London, Collider provides a behind-the-scenes look at the CERN particle physics laboratory in Geneva that houses the LHC. The LHC is most famous for proving the existence of the Higgs boson, otherwise referred to as the -God Particle'. The Higgs boson was theorised in the 1950s to be a subatomic particle responsible for giving other elementary particles mass.
