Palace of Miracles Exhibition

This is an interactive scientific exhibition and education centre. Primarily it teaches children, showing them the rules of the natural sciences. It is a fusion of didactic approaches particular to a museum, a school, a playground or amusement park, and a cultural centre.

New features are added to the permanent exhibition annually, called e.g. 'Everyday magic', 'New illusions', 'Do not believe your eyes', and 'Tune into us'. Visitors can touch and try out all sorts of things in order to discover and get familiar with natural laws. They understand by experience how they work.

There is a square-wheeled car, a sticky wall, and a virtual moon walk; you may try out the monocycle, the blue-box, and others. These are all easy to use and no knowledge of more complex scientific theories is needed.

We really had fun there yesterday. Unfortunately the batteries in my camera decided not to work despite all of the other miracles.
