Innovation Centre Mill of Knowledge, Science museum in Toruń, Poland

Description

Innovation Centre Mill of Knowledge occupies a restored grain mill building in central Toruń and features exhibition spaces spread across multiple areas of the structure. The rooms blend the industrial architecture of the original building with modern interactive displays and hands-on science stations where visitors can conduct their own experiments.

History

The mill building was constructed in the 1880s as a steam-powered grain processing facility that served the city for many decades. In 2013 the structure underwent major renovation and reopened as a science center, transforming an industrial landmark into a place for learning and discovery.

Culture

The place connects to Nicolaus Copernicus and his impact on science through hands-on displays that let visitors explore how his ideas changed thinking about the world. The space shows how scientific breakthroughs became woven into the local identity of this city.

Practical

Guided tours and educational programs for groups are available and can help you focus on specific subjects or learn about the building's transformation.
