Domus - Man House, Science museum in A Coruña, Spain
Domus is a science museum in A Coruña devoted entirely to human beings and their biological processes. The exhibition space features around 200 interactive stations exploring sensory functions, brain activity, and demographic patterns that visitors discover through hands-on participation.
The museum was founded in 1995 from a collaboration between international and local architects who developed a new approach to science education. This opening marked a turning point in the cultural infrastructure of A Coruña.
The name refers to the human body and its workings, with exhibits designed so visitors directly interact with content about their own biology. The spaces encourage people to learn about themselves through hands-on exploration and observation.
The building sits right on the coast and is easy to reach on foot, with clear signposting from the city center. The best times to visit are mornings or weekdays when crowds are smaller.
Inside you will find a reproduction of the Mona Lisa created from about 10,000 individual photographs of different people. This artistic composition blends Leonardo's famous painting with the museum's focus on human diversity.
