Interactive museum Barcelona

from guest

It is an interactive museum with different rooms and several subjects. In this unusual museum we can experiment, touch or interact with almost everything.

The visit to the museum starts by the geologic wall, it is a huge tree surrounded by a 20 meters of staircase where we can find information written in the wall and fossils.

From there you will go inside the material room; this exhibit shows many of the facts of Physics. There is a gigantic pendulum and a strange table which is sensitive to the touch of some square pieces used to create music (At first this is a lot fun but you will easily tire of it after a couple of minutes due to all the sounds). In this room there are many other experiments involving light and sound.

The next room of the museum is the flooding forest. Here we can admire the flora and fauna of the Amazon, there are many species like the cutting ants or the piranhas. This room is located in the middle of the museum and inside the temperature and humidity is the same as in the Brazilian rain forest. We can also see the rain falling inside every hour; this is truly a unique experience.

Next you will find the square of science, a place where you can experiment with different temperature and sound modules in a natural environment.

The room “Toca Toca” (touch, touch) will give you the opportunity to touch snakes, scorpions, other animals and many unusual textures. The access to this room is only with a guide and you will need to select a special time at the entrance to visit it.

The “Planetario Burbuja” explains the dimension of the universe and how the scientists calculate the distances between the stars. Sadly the show last for just a couple of minutes, how ever you will be able to choose your language for the explanation (Spanish, Catalan, English or French). Remember to select a time to visit this room when you are purchasing your tickets at the entrance.

La visita a este museo es realmente divertida y aunque en principio parezca que est? dise?ado para los ni?os cr?anme que les gustar?.

This museum is so much fun and although it seems to be created for children you will truly enjoy the visit.

The entrance cost only 3 euros and there are special prices for students. If you want to visit a room where you need a guide such as Toca Toca or Planetario Burbuja you will need to pay an extra fee of 2 euros for each room. The museum is located close to the FGC station “Avinguda del Tibidabo” and from there you will need to walk for 5 minutes along the apartamentos Barcelona through the Isaac Newton street.
