So, as many of you probably know, my trip to Europe is coupled with a touring internship of European science centers. Right now I’m working in Experimentarium. Which is awesome. (You can check out my science blog here: RCS.)
So, Experimentarium is actually built in what was once part of the Tuborg brewery (although it was apparently used for a Tuborg soft-drink?).
So, everyday I pass this building as I turn on Tuborg Boulevard to find the museum. Nifty.
And somehow it seems like Science Centers have a lot of strange stories as to how they got started. NYHOS - developed from the World’s Fair. Techmania - largely funded by Skoda and built in one of their old factories. Technisches Museum Wien - commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph the First on his 60th anniversary of accession to the throne. hmm..
