Description
The Stanisław Lem Garden of Experiences in Krakow, opened in spring 2008, is the first in Poland open-air educational exhibition. It was created in the frame of the EQUAL Community Initiative Programme with significant support from the city of Kraków. At the moment the exhibition is administered by the Museum of Municipal Engineering. There are over 50 interactive exhibits in the Garden, covering mainly area of mechanics, acoustics and optics located in a 6 ha park. The main goal of exhibition is to play and learn, to show that discovering the Laws of Nature may be fun. The exposition is adressed to everyone from children to elderly people. Some experiments are more then just interactive, we call them sensoric, when visitors experience the investigated phenomenon by themselves being a part of the experimental system (eg.the Coriolis force).
