Limited availability of attractions on May 24th
On May 24th, some attractions will not be available to visitors: the Future is Today exhibition, the Robotic Lab, and the Air Fountain exhibit. The corridor connecting the Exhibitions and the Planetarium will also be closed, so viewers going to the screenings room are asked to walk around the building. Copernicus will close earlier than usual on that day, at 6 p.m. We apologize for the inconvenience. The restrictions are related to preparations for the gala of the Przewroty award established by the Copernicus Science Centre.
