Play with the exposition

The renowned J.A.Comenius, teacher and writer, has introduced the idea of “School as a play” in the 17th century. Today this principle is called “edutainment” and the arched interiors of the subterranean level of the medieval house, enabled us to create a really adventurous enviroment. Beside moldavites, you can see meteorites and other “strange” stones here, or visit virtually the most distinctive craters around the globe. You can also go through the cosmic impact step by step or throw your meteorite onto the Earth.

Don’t hurry…

Yes, you can do the visit in 20 minutes, but most of our visitors spend in the exposition at least 40 minutes to enjoy it and play with all the gadgets…
