Now, this is no surprise to anyone. So, there is a museum "Experimentanium" in Krasnoyarsk, Rostov-on-Don, Minsk, Kyiv, Odessa and many other cities and countries.
Who and why go to the museum?
The Museum of Entertaining Sciences "Experimentanium" is shown to little why-kids who are just starting to explore the world and bombard their parents with their endless questions, teenagers who are bored of sitting in school, young people looking for inspiration and creativity, and adults thirsting for new sensations and dreaming for a moment to return to childhood.
Museum of entertaining sciences "Experimentanium": prices
