National Museum of Science and Technology - MUNCYT, Technology museum in A Coruña, Spain.
The National Museum of Science and Technology, known as MUNCYT, is a national museum in A Coruña, Spain, displaying scientific instruments, technological devices, vehicles, machines, and industrial equipment from different periods. The collection is spread across several exhibition areas, each covering a different field.
The museum was founded in 1997 at the Delicias railway station in Madrid and moved to A Coruña in 2012. The relocation made it possible to reorganize the exhibition spaces from scratch.
The museum goes by the name MUNCYT and displays objects from everyday Spanish scientific life, from early measuring tools to industrial machines. Walking through the rooms gives a concrete sense of how technology changed daily life in Spain over the centuries.
Opening hours change depending on the season, so it is worth checking them before your visit. The museum is accessible year round, but summer generally offers longer opening windows.
The museum displays the front cabin section of an Iberia Boeing 747 named 'Lope de Vega', the plane that brought Picasso's Guernica from New York to Spain in 1981. This makes the aircraft a rare piece of transport history that most visitors do not expect to find inside a science museum.
