Visitors can race against the human heart, discover the limits of their own sense of hearing, and become a lightning-tamer – boredom is virtually impossible at the Copernicus Science Centre.
LightZone
Paradoxically this is an area of darkness and shade. The absence of natural light sources provides ideal conditions for exploring the properties and essential nature of light.
Roots of Civilization
What can be considered the sources of civilisation? What are the milestones in its development? What might the world look like in a few hundred years? The “Roots of Civilisation” gallery will both pose questions and inspire to seek answers.
Humans and the Environment
Here we are discovering how mankind affects the environment, as well as how it affects us.
Buzzz!
This gallery is dedicated to children aged 3 to 6 years, plus their parents and carers. Here we will play together, learning to recognize shapes, sounds, and colours and engaging all of our senses. Fully safe experiments will show us how fascinating our world really is.
Planetarium
The Planetarium under the 16 metres diameter dome takes you to the far places in the space, inside a volcano and back to the origins of life on Earth.
On the Move
Our planet, water in the ocean, blood in our veins, particles in the air we breathe – all the surrounding world is on the move. The exhibition will show you sound waves and light spread, and what makes our finger move.
RE: Generation
Me, my brain and emotions. My surroundings and my relations with the environment. Societies and communities and rules within them. Earth as a global village. All this constitutes the RE: generation gallery.
Discovery Park
On the banks of the Vistula River and around the Copernicus Science Centre building and on its roof, there is an extraordinary garden called the Discovery Park. This is an open, green space, a place of relaxation geared for educational entertainment, dedicated to whole families.
Robotic Theatre
The Robotic Theatre is one of the most prestigious and original projects of the Copernicus Science Centre. This is a theatre played by robots, strictly speaking - RoboThespians, the RoboActors.
