Women & Science | 29th February and 1st March 2020 at Museum

Tavola disegno 1 copia 7

On the occasion of the Women’s Day, which is celebrated on March 8, the interactive museum of Città della Scienza will dedicate its activities to women scientists next weekend!

Saturday 29 February and Sunday 1 March, in honor of the greatest scientists and their discoveries, it will be possible to discover the significant contribution that women have made to scientific development by overcoming enormous difficulties imposed by gender condition and sometimes having to implement strategies to make their work accepted and recognized. In the scientific study “Marie Curie: It is not easy to be next to a genius…” it will be possible to know the life of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, her biography and the benefits that her study and daily work had on the lives of others. Curie, in fact, was the first person to win two Nobel prizes in two different disciplines, fought against all the prejudices of the time and showed, more than any other scientist woman, how high women can go, if determined and passionate; in “AstroSamantha Cristoforetti: towards infinity and beyond…”, a laboratory dedicated to the Italian astronaut, visitors will be able to build a nice supergalactic rocket and try to make it fly as high as possible; while the DNA extraction laboratory “Rosalind Franklin: the heroine who failed to discover DNA” will be an opportunity to learn the history of this great researcher and for the discovery of the structure of DNA.
Like all weekends, guided tours are available at the Interactive Museum on the human body and at the exhibitions Mare, Insetti & Co, Bike_it and attend the breathtaking shows scheduled in our 3D Planetarium.

GUIDED TOURS AND WORKSHOPS ARE INCLUDED IN THE ENTRANCE TICKET!

This weekend the entrance to the museum will be allowed at a special price for adults and children: Museum ticket € 5, integrated museum ticket and Planetarium € 8.

Coronavirus emergency: starting from this Sunday and for the following ones we will host an expert to follow the evolution of the emergency with meetings to spread clear and authoritative information.
Many surprises await you in our weekend full of science and fun!
