CCSTI de Grenoble, Scientific and industrial culture center in Grenoble, France
Description
The CCSTI de Grenoble is a science center housed in a modernized building with exhibition spaces, workshops, and laboratories spread across multiple levels. The facility invites visitors to engage directly with research topics and conduct their own experiments.
History
The center opened in 1979 within a former military fortification built in the 1830s, establishing itself as France's second scientific cultural institution at that time. Following a fire in 2017, it underwent complete renovation and later expanded its operations.
Culture
The center brings visitors into direct contact with current scientific questions through hands-on experiments and tangible discoveries. The exhibitions show how science relates to everyday life and what questions today's researchers are exploring.
Practical
The center sits near Porte Saint-Laurent and operates Monday through Saturday, with extended evening hours on Tuesday and Thursday. Visiting on less crowded days allows for a more relaxed pace when exploring the spaces.
