Science Park of Granada, Science museum in Granada, Spain
The Parque de las Ciencias opened in May 1995 in Granada's Fígares area and covers 70,000 m². Its first building, the Foucault Pendulum Building by Francisco Pastor and Francisco Maeso, holds the Biosphere, Eureka, Perception and Explora halls and a planetarium with a 10 m dome and 120 projectors. The later Macroscopio, by Carlos Ferrater, has a skylight modelled on the Sierra Nevada and leads to the human body and risk prevention pavilions.
The museum opened in 1995 and was established as a major science center for southern Spain. Since then it has grown into an important location for science education in the region.
The Al-Andalus and Science Pavilion shows how medieval scholars in this region made scientific and technical advances. You can see how these ideas shaped their world and continue to influence thinking today.
The outdoor exhibits occupy 27,000 m² of gardens, so allow time to walk between the halls and the garden installations. The complex covers 70,000 m² in the Fígares area of Granada. The Planetarium, with its 10 m dome and 120 projectors, sits inside the Foucault Pendulum Building, the first building opened in May 1995.
The outdoor area covers 27,000 m² of gardens, where exhibits are placed in the open air thanks to the Andalusian climate. In the Birds of Prey in Flight Workshop, a falcon hunts its prey and an eagle passes within centimetres of visitors.
