WORLD TOUR IN 8 HOURS! | From 1 to 4 November

Since the ancient migrations of Homo sapiens, it has always been a great desire to move, leave their place and explore new boundaries and desolate lands, throw themselves to conquer new territories, push themselves beyond their limits, even to place your flags in places extremes.

The desire to explore, to know new places and people, new cultures is innate to the essence of man himself! In this super weekend, at Città della Scienza, we will go to the discovery of peoples, traditions and the relationship between man and the environment on our planet. Suitcase in hand! Ready to start for a 8 hours world tour?

The flag has always been associated with a nation and has become a status symbol. Of course, it is difficult to remember with the offers of all the existing nations. Why not try, having fun, in the activity “Memory of the Flags?“
And again, do not miss the insights during guided tours on this long bridge in early November:
“Anthropometry” to discover the biological basis of the morphological diversity of Homo sapiens in an evolutionary and “Endemic, a who?” to understand when a species can be called “endemic” and which are the most important ones.
Weekend guests also considering the OXFAM ITALIA, which carries out campaigns of opinion and awareness to influence the policies that cause poverty and global inflation, with the intervention “A people in motion” aimed at communicating to the public the complexity of the phenomenon of migration, speaking on the cultural level to make known the real dimensions, contrasting the narrative of the invasion and the readings that foment episodes of intolerance, xenophobia and racism. The so-called “migration crisis” is not an emergency: the real emergency lies in the many human lives in which fundamental human rights are not guaranteed. An insight on one of the hottest topics of these months.
And finally, do not you investigate the close relationship between food and culture, if not in the company of a nutritionist? Marco Polo used to say: “You can not say that you know a people if you have not eaten his food (Marco Polo). Insight  “Food: a people’s mirror” awaits you!
Unmissable our appointments with:
“Researcher Craft”: Come and participate in a research project? What is the role of children? Are the children able to influence the choices made by the parents in the field of nutrition? And do you come to parents instead let themselves be conditioned by the presence of children in their choices? We will understand this by participating in this survey and as a tribute for the participants, a tasty snack!
And with the “Nintendo Labo” where, integrating the new technologies with a good dexterity, discover together with your parents “Nintendo Labo”: a piece of a piece in a film, a piano or something else you can think of! Then, add a Nintendo Switch console to bring them to life and enjoyment is guaranteed! Win a race, catch a fish, play a keyboard … With Nintendo Labo, everyone can experience the joy of building, playing and discovering. Have fun watching your creations: you could even invent new ways to play with Toy-Con! Try the new set of Toy With protagonist to the vehicles and discover the driver who is in you!

From October 10th to January 6th 2019, the Science Centre exhibition area offer is enhanced with a new and technological exhibition “The Beauty of Imaging”, organized by the Bracco Group. The exhibition celebrates the beauty “from within” the human body: an exploration made possible thanks to diagnostic imaging: one of the ten most important discoveries in the entire history of medicine. Today the journey in the body is accomplished hundreds of thousands of times a day, in every part of the world, in order to prevent and cure. And so, traveling within the human body, we discover the extraordinary complexity of the mechanisms that regulate it, the fascinating perfection of the structures that govern it and the general harmony of its functioning. A trip not to be missed!

The exhibition completes in a perfect way Corporea  museum , representing a focus that simplifies and disseminates, investigating physics, chemistry, biology, applications and implications of X-rays / CT, Magnetic Resonance, Ultrasound and Nuclear Medicine.
Have You still not visited the Corporea Museum? It is the only one in Italy, entirely dedicated to the “perfect” machine of the human body! A guided tour, in the company of one of our guides, will allow you to discover the secrets of our body and experience the exhibits that most intrigue you!
Which fish, molluscs and crustaceans live in the pools of the “Sea” exhibition? Follow the guided tour “Marine Ecosystems” and you will have the chance to caress some living marine organisms in our Touch pool. What an emotion!

The program includes a guided tour of the “Insetti & CO” exhibition, the new exhibition space dedicated to the spectacular world of insects and more. For every man on Earth there are over 150 million insects. “The six-legged giants” have conquered almost all the habitats of our planet … it’s time to start getting to know them better.
And if, instead, the underwater world fascinates you, “Create your marine animals” waiting for you! It is a laboratory where you can color fish shapes, invent new species, and then, as for “magic”, make them appear and swim in a large virtual aquarium. BIT is back but has become more “enigmatic” … Try to solve ” BIT’s Riddles ” or let yourself be carried away by the stories that will be ready to make you … After the great success of the preview, it is scheduled Sunday at the planetarium “Far Worlds: The Search for Extrasolar Planets “: In recent years the search for planets that orbit around stars other than our Sun has had an unprecedented surge. Today we know that planetary systems similar to ours are the norm rather than the exception, and the study of extrasolar planets has become the main way to try to answer a fundamental question: does extraterrestrial life exist? In this show we will discover the latest developments and future perspectives of the incredible hunt for the secrets of these distant worlds.
The Live Show comes back to the Planetarium! Among astronomers, stars and galaxies, an astronomer expert will tell the public, in real time, all that is shown on the dome of the Planetarium, to offer a unique experience of immersion in the depths of our universe. By integrating within it the databases of the main international space agencies, the Planetarium of Città della Scienza allows as close as you can imagine to a real journey in space. “Life and Death of a Star” will allow you to retrace all the stages of the life of a star, from birth to death. What are you waiting for? Secure your trip among the stars!
In addition, the 2D shows “From Earth to the Universe – From Earth to the Universe” will be at your disposal to discover the most important theories elaborated by man over the course of time in astronomy up to future prospects and, if you can not give up thrill of 3D, the “Robot Explorers” show to travel with probes, landers and orbiters in our solar system. Choices able to satisfy all tastes and needs!
