Copernicus Science Centre
Copernicus Science Centre is a science museum on the bank of the Vistula in Warsaw, opened on 5 November 2010 as a joint project of the City of Warsaw and Poland's science and education ministries. Rather than displaying objects behind glass, it lets visitors run over 450 hands-on interactive experiments across permanent galleries on physics, biology and technology, plus a planetarium. It is the largest science centre in Poland and one of the most visited in Europe.
