The Maritime Science Center is a unique place that combines modern science with museum displays. The hull-like building will provide scientific entertainment for each age group. Maritime, shipping, fisheries, shipbuilding are natural choices, driven by Western Pomerania's history and priorities, and they play an important role in shaping the region's identity.
It will be a place for meetings and dialog where contacts and links are established between people, communities and institutions in the region. Maritime Science Center will show that science and art are co-creating culture and civilization.
There are plenty of places in the MSC where children - both younger and older - can develop their creative potential. But not just that, apart from development, it is interesting and advised time spent.
Under the guidance of their carers, youth and children shall experiment independently developing their knowledge. Our workshops shall be a perfect place releasing creativity while teaching patience, persistence and accuracy.
In the area of 3000 m2, we will be able to experiment with around 200 exhibits in the following sections:
"Full steam ahead!" – Ships, vessels, boats, yachts, bathyscaphes. A great sea adventure that shows the process of the constructing and steering all the sea vessels.
