Program details
Feel the magic of science and cutting-edge technology at the wonderful vision of the future that is the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. L'Hemisfèric is a visually stunning projection hall that looks like an eye on the outside and another universe on the inside while Principe Felipe Science Museum takes an interactive look at aspects of our everyday lives and from the wider world to the furthest reaches of the universe.
L'Hemisfèric’s projection hall has three separate systems projecting onto a curved 900sq.m screen above more than 300 patrons. There’s an Imax dome, a 3D digital screen and digital full dome projections, often of an astronomical nature. Lie back and be transported to another dimension. All these dramatic features have earned nicknames such as the Eye of Knowledge and the Planetarium.
The Principe Felipe Science Museum features a series of fascinating exhibits dedicated to themes such as climate change and human DNA. There is also a children’s area that studies aspects about natural habitats, pollution and outer space. The section on ‘magical chemistry’ is well worth checking out while there is an entire level devoted to great scientists. Sports fans will love the section devoted to the city’s most successful football club, Valencia CF, and the Marvel superheroes exhibit attracts young and old in equal measure. During the summer, from July 17 to August 31, there are special night-time shows from 8pm to midnight.
