CosmoCaixa Barcelona, Science museum in Sant Gervasi-la Bonanova, Spain

The CosmoCaixa science museum spans multiple floors containing exhibits about physics, geology, biology, and astronomy through interactive displays and demonstrations.

The museum building, constructed between 1904 and 1909 by Josep Domènech i Estapà, underwent extensive renovations before reopening as CosmoCaixa in September 2004.

The European Museum of the Year Award in 2006 recognized CosmoCaixa's commitment to making science education accessible through hands-on learning experiences.

Visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 20:00, with special hours during holidays and complete closure on December 25, January 1, and January 6.

A 1000-square-meter greenhouse recreates an Amazon rainforest ecosystem, complete with piranhas, crocodiles, and plant species from the tropical region.
