Copernicus Science Centre – Info

The Copernicus Science Centre inspire people to experiment, understand the world, and take responsible action.

We create opportunities to explore, ask questions and interact. We strive to pique visitors’ curiosity, inspire them, stimulate their imaginations, delight them and make them think. We don’t teach, we facilitate exploration. We do not explain things, but instead help visitors understand for themselves and see different perspectives.

Science is no longer considered an authority, yet it is still science that will help us find solutions to the problems plaguing humanity – provided that its discoveries are put to good use. We believe that initiating dialogue on socially important topics is one of the most important tasks of science centres, and we try to do this both. We focus on issues related to global warming, care for the environment, public health concerns, and social aspects of the development of new technologies, especially artificial intelligence and biotechnology.

Copernicus Science Centre is is the largest institution of its type in Poland and one of the most advanced in Europe. Since its opening, it has been visited by over 13 million people.
