Our young guests will be able to act the part of scientists from the XVIII century, play with electricity and void, try experiments that will make their hair stand on end… Anything marvels, but to everything there’s an explanation! Those who prefer card games and RPGs will be able to impersonate famous figures of the Museum and try to defeat the adversaries by becoming a Chair at the University!

Visitors will also be able to freely use the Museum audioguides and AR App, to visit the Museum by themselves.

Visitors will be required to show their valid Super Green Pass upon entrance (saved exceptions indicated by the Italian Ministry of Health).
