Museo Elder de la Ciencia y la Tecnología
The Museo Elder de la Ciencia y la Tecnología is a large science museum in Spain. It fills a late nineteenth-century commercial building with roughly 4,600 square metres of floor space. Before the science moved in, the premises belonged to a shipping company.
Inside, science and technology arrive through objects you can touch: experiments, demonstrations and changing exhibitions cover the floors. Workshops, film screenings and school programmes run alongside, inviting visitors of all ages to test ideas by doing. Computing, artificial intelligence and advanced technologies anchor the programme, and the museum presents itself as a European hub for those fields. Closer to home, it marked its twenty-fifth anniversary with an open day and the founding of a friends' association. It is wheelchair accessible, and its calendar of events stays busy.
Urban sketching mornings, science communication projects and short film screenings keep that calendar full. At the entrance, the shipping company's old heavy doors open onto glowing screens, robots and experiments. Sea trade and future technology meet under one roof.
