About

Mokslo Sala in Kaunas is a new-generation science centre designed to spark curiosity through hands‑on exploration. Set on the Nemunas Island, it blends contemporary architecture with an interactive approach to learning, making it one of the city’s most engaging cultural spaces. The museum focuses on physics, biology, engineering and environmental science, presenting complex ideas through playful, intuitive experiences. Inside, visitors can experiment with sound waves, light, magnetism and motion, using large‑scale installations that encourage active participation. One of the most intriguing zones explores human perception, where illusions and sensory challenges reveal how the brain interprets the world. Another highlight is the sustainability section, showcasing renewable energy models and interactive displays about climate and ecosystems. Families particularly enjoy the creative workshops and rotating thematic exhibitions, which introduce scientific concepts through storytelling and practical tasks. The centre’s panoramic windows and open design also make the building itself part of the experience, reflecting Kaunas’ growing focus on innovation and education.
