National Museum of Science and Technology - MUNCYT

The National Museum of Science and Technology in A Coruña is a science museum displaying more than 19,000 scientific instruments, technological devices, vehicles, machines, and industrial equipment collected over time. The collection spans across multiple exhibition areas showing different fields of study.

The institution was first established in 1997 at the Delicias railway station in Madrid before relocating to its current location in A Coruña in 2012. This move allowed for a complete reconfiguration of the exhibition spaces and expanded the public experience.

The collection traces Spain's scientific and technological advancement through centuries, showing how innovations shaped daily life in different eras. Visitors can see how technology evolved from early instruments to modern devices.

Opening hours vary by season, with extended hours from July through mid-September and reduced hours from mid-September through June. Check the current schedule before your visit to plan your time accordingly.

The museum displays the front cabin section of an Iberia Boeing 747 named 'Lope de Vega' that carried Picasso's Guernica painting from New York to Spain in 1981. This aircraft played a key role in a significant cultural moment for Spain.
