CCSTI de Grenoble, Scientific and industrial culture center in Grenoble, France
The CCSTI de Grenoble functions as a central hub for scientific exploration, featuring exhibition spaces, workshops, and laboratories across multiple floors of a renovated building.
Founded in 1979 within a former military fortification from the 1830s, the center emerged as France's second scientific cultural institution after the Palais de la Découverte.
The center organizes exhibitions, conferences, and educational programs that connect citizens with current scientific developments and technological innovations through hands-on experiences.
Located near Porte Saint-Laurent, the center welcomes 37,000 visitors annually and operates Monday through Saturday with extended hours on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Following reconstruction after a 2017 fire, the center expanded its facilities in 2021 and now manages additional scientific venues, including the Cosmocité planetarium in Pont-de-Claix.
