La Casa de las Ciencias (House of Science) was the first recognised interactive,public museum in Spain. El palacete del parque Santa Margarita has a planetarium and three floors of exhibitions: physical experiments, temporary exhibitions and scientific exhibits. In the void space of the central stairs oscillates the pendulum of Foucault. The building has lift access and toilet facilities.
The Museum is well located in the heart of the city and its gardens provide a brief respite form the hustle and bustle of the city. It´s worth a walk around the gardens to admire the setiting and the design of the Museum although there is a slight climb to get to the entrance.
