COSMOCAIXA Science Museum

"La Caixa" Foundation's new science museum in Barcelona is designed to stimulate the scientific knowiedge and opinion of the community. Located at the same address as the previous museum, CosmoCaixa devotes over 33,000 m2 of exhibition space to science. The permanent exhibitions gallery, which is divided into thematic areas based on four types of matter (inert, living, intelligent and civilised) traces the history of matter, from the creation of the universe to the present day. The Geological Wall and the Flooded Forest are two of the flagship exhibits at the new museum. The first allows you to interpret the world's geology, while the second is the first flooded Amazonian forest on display inside a science museum. CosmoCaixa's range of attractions is complemented with workshops, courses, lectures, shows in the Planetarium and a whole host of workshops and spaces designed to bring science alive for the youngest children.
