context_page_description: The Globe of Science and Innovation is a visitor center, designed to inform visitors about the significant research being carried out at CERN. The wooden structure, which is 27 metres high and 40 metres in diameter, is a symbol of planet earth and was originally built for Expo.02 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. In 2004, it was moved to its current location in Meyrin in the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland.
context_section_description: The first floor of the renovated globe is dedicated to the globe's only permanent exhibition, Universe of Particles, which was designed by the architectural firm, Atelier Brückner. It is divided into six exhibition areas:
  Mysterious worlds - this section presents some of the questions about the universe that are studied at CERN.
  Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - this section includes a large map of CERN and the path that particles take in the accelerator.
  Detecting particles - the heart of the exhibition, this section demonstrates how the particles are accelerated and detected.
  Science without borders - this section demonstrates how basic research leads to modern technology. The first 'World Wide Web' server, a NeXT workstation, is shown in this area.
  In their own words - scientists' own words about the questions that drive their research.
  Research area - a live display of LHC collisions
