Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The artist Gerhard Richter has recreated the Foucault experiment from 1851 which finally demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Roman Catholic church that the earth rotated on its own axis therefore the sun was the centre of the Universe...
Opening in 2018 this installation comprises two double gray mirrors so the visitors and the giant pendulum are seen in constantly moving relationships. The wire is over 28 metres long and the sphere, which was designed by the Physics department at Munster University and weighs 48 kilograms, swings elegantly over a huge disc on the floor with the 360 degrees etched to demonstrate the movement of the earth's surface. The pendulum is powered by electro-magnets.
Visitors take a seat to watch and wait while the minutes tick by and, slower than the hour hand of a clock, you can note the displacement. A victory for science? Yes, but in Munster the setting is God's and the concept is the artist's! A moral score draw!
It is free to enter and time seems to stand still in an attraction that is destined to be a huge hit with locals and visitors alike.
