This interactive science museum occupies the grand Palácio das Indústrias, an early twentieth-century civic palace near the old city centre. Its hands-on exhibits span physics, astronomy, biology and technology, arranged in themed sections that appeal especially to children and school groups. Visitors explore a walk-through model of the human body, meteorite samples and experiments illustrating natural phenomena. Housed in an ornate red-brick building, it pairs a historic setting with an educational mission.
