Rua Maria Delfina Gomes, in Braga
This Braga Live Science Center is located on Rua Maria Delfina Gomes, city of Braga, northern Portugal.
The location and purpose of the Casa da Ciência de Braga
The Braga Planetarium or House of Science belongs to the Network of Centers of the National Science Viva Agency.
This Science Center promotes science and technology by encouraging early motivation in children through experiments and research in the laboratory, astronomical observations, models and general principles, increasing human knowledge of how the Universe works.
The space was born in the recovery of an old building, becoming an interactive space for scientific and technological dissemination that functions as a knowledge platform for all visitors.
