Science Centre

In 1999, a spark ignited in Trieste. The Science Centre Immaginario Scientifico opened its doors, first nestled within the International Centre for Theoretical Physics. Now, the Immaginario Scientifico calls the renovated Magazzino 26 in the Porto Vecchio home. This isn’t just a museum. It’s a hands-on adventure across two floors and 2,000 square meters. Inside the Science Centre Immaginario Scientifico, curiosity transforms into knowledge. Over 100 interactive exhibits beckon. They invite you to explore the wonders of science. Touch, experiment, and discover. Unravel the mysteries of motion, fluids, and electromagnetism. Dive into the world of sounds, lights, and shadows. Explore mathematics, logic, and even optical illusions. The Immaginario Scientifico isn’t just about observing. It’s about doing. The museum is divided into three main sections. “Trieste and Science” showcases local research from prominent institutions. “Fenomena” houses hands-on exhibits exploring fundamental scientific principles. There’s even a “House of Innovation” exhibit designed specifically for children. It was designed by Area Science Park. “Innova” delves into cutting-edge technologies and applied research. Two special sections further enhance the experience. The “Imaginaire Scientifique” is an immersive journey through captivating scientific imagery. The planetarium offers breathtaking tours of the celestial sphere. The Immaginario Scientifico embraces a friendly, informal atmosphere. This makes it perfect for visitors of all ages, including school groups. While reservations are recommended for everyone, they are mandatory for schools. The Science Centre Immaginario Scientifico also offers guided tours, educational workshops, and a bookshop. It’s more than just a museum. It’s a portal to the wonders of science, where learning becomes an adventure.
