Immaginario Scientifico

Immaginario Scientifico is a science and technology museum in Trieste with numerous interactive areas for exploration and learning. The spaces allow visitors to directly experience and understand physical phenomena such as motion, light, magnetism, and sound through hands-on activities.

The concept originated in 1985 as a proposal for an exhibition in Paris and was later brought to Trieste, where it opened in 1988. Since then it has become an important venue for science communication in the region.

The museum shapes Trieste's identity as a knowledge hub and demonstrates how science functions in everyday life. Visitors experience here that science is not abstract but becomes tangible through hands-on exploration and discovery.

Access is organized through several specialized areas where you can conduct or observe experiments directly. It is advisable to allow time for exploration, as each area can appeal to different skill levels and interests.

The museum contains a planetarium area that demonstrates the movement of celestial bodies and provides insight into astronomical phenomena. This area creates an immersive experience that illustrates the scale and complexity of the universe.
