Following the example of previous years, in 2026 Copernicus will once again observe “Quiet Hours” once a month, from 13.00 to 18.00. During this time, loud exhibits and devices emitting harsh or strobe lighting will be switched off. A quieter show will be presented in the High Voltage Theatre. More information is available on the Without barriers webpage.

This weekend, Marjolein van Breemen, a member of the Programme Council of the Copernicus Science Centre, passed away unexpectedly. She was the Director of the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden and a member of the ECSITE Programme Committee. She was a highly respected figure within the community of museums and science centres. In her honour, the Naturalis Museum has lowered its flag to half-mast.

Dla wszystkich, którzy chcą połączyć zwiedzanie naszych Wystaw z wizytą w Planetarium, mamy bilety łączone. Wybierając taki bilet, zapłacisz mniej niż za dwa osobne.

Due to preparations for the Polish Armed Forces Day celebrations, some streets near Copernicus will be closed to traffic in the coming days. Before your visit, we recommend checking current updates on the Warsaw Public Transport website, and we also suggest using the Warsaw Metro to reach us.

From June 1 to 6, the Exhibitions will be closed. From June 2 to 5, the Planetarium will also be closed. We are hosting the international ECSITE conference, gathering 1,000 science communicators, during this time.

Looking for an idea for an extraordinary Friday afternoon? Visit Copernicus! We are open until 8:00 PM.

On this day, some attractions will not be available to visitors, and Copernicus will close earlier than usual, at 6:00 PM. We apologize for the inconvenience. The restrictions are related to preparations for the Przewroty Award gala.

One a month, between 1 and 6 PM there will be „Quiet hours” at the Copernicus. During this time, we turn off noisy exhibits, harsh light emitting devices and strobe lights, and we present a quieter show in the High Voltage Theatre.
