L'Atrium, l'espace régional de découverte scientifique et technique

About

In the heart of Rouen, L’Atrium stands as Normandy’s regional hub for scientific and technical discovery. Opened in 2015, this modern space was designed to make science accessible to all, blending exhibitions, interactive workshops, and conferences that spark curiosity across generations. Its architecture, sleek and luminous, reflects the spirit of innovation within, while thematic displays explore pressing issues such as climate change, health, energy, and digital technology. Schools and families flock to its hands-on exhibits, where learning becomes an engaging experience rather than a lecture. Beyond its role as a cultural venue, L’Atrium serves as a bridge between research institutions, universities, and the public, fostering dialogue and awareness about the challenges shaping our future. By combining education with creativity, it has quickly become a landmark of Rouen’s intellectual landscape, a place where science is celebrated as part of everyday life.
