Museums of Natural History and ScienceExperience sites invite you on a journey of discovery

Exploring, experimenting, researching and trying things out are clearly at the centre of some popular adventure sites. Visitors take part in entire series of experiments that, for example, challenge the senses and make heads spin. Planetariums whisk space pilots away to distant stars and alien galaxies, while various aspects of everyday life play a role in diverse permanent exhibitions. Some institutions have even dedicated themselves entirely to the depiction of one element, while other centres explain scientific relationships between flora and fauna from a natural history perspective. If you want to find out more about the laws of physics, chemical processes or technical advances, there are many ways to broaden your horizons in the educational centres.
