Forum départemental des sciences de Villeneuve-d'Ascq, Science museum in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France.
Forum Départemental des Sciences is a science museum with various exhibition areas, a planetarium, and interactive stations for exploration. The collections cover topics such as space exploration, human biology, and technological development.
The museum opened in 1996 as a result of initiatives by ALIAS, an association that had been working on scientific communication since 1985. This established an important hub for science education in the region.
The center draws visitors who want to experience science firsthand, and its exhibitions encourage people to understand the natural world around them. The spaces allow for hands-on learning and engagement with scientific topics.
The visit works best on weekdays or weekends depending on your schedule. It helps to check opening times before visiting, as hours vary depending on the day of the week.
The museum is part of a network called 'Culture de Sciences' that connects various scientific institutions and projects in the region. This network allows visitors to link with other scientific places across Northern France.
