Aurelium Science Adventure Center

Why visit

Aurelium is built on learning by doing: you pull, spin, switch and test the exhibits instead of reading about them. Physics, chemistry and maths turn into small experiments you set off yourself.

It is in the Matador complex in Nové Mesto, away from the Old Town, and works well for families and on rainy days.

What to see

• Mechanics: exhibits on forces, motion and balance.
• Electromagnetism: experiments with electricity and magnets.
• Optics: illusions, light and mirrors.
• Chemistry and materials: how substances react and what materials can do.
• Mathematics: puzzles and models that make maths tangible.
• Human, renewable energy and ecology: exhibits on the body, energy sources and the environment.
• Shows and workshops: science shows, lectures and weekend workshops on the centre’s programme.

Plan your visit

Admission is paid, with reduced tickets for children, students and seniors. Families and individuals can come without a reservation; groups of ten or more book in advance.
