Mediterranean Citadel of Science

The Mediterranean Citadel of Science  in Bari is the first permanent science centre entirely designed and built by Cnr (Communication Unit). The project is promoted by the University of Bari with the support of the Italian Ministry of Research and Education: the goal is the promotion and dissemination of technical-scientific culture, as well as the protection and enhancement of the historical heritage preserved in Italy.

Open since 2006, it features a permanent exhibition of interactive scientific experiments, a collection of vintage scientific instruments and some rooms available for temporary exhibitions. The design of the interactive exhibits was entrusted to Cnr Communication Unit, which worked on its realization at the Laboratory of electronics, mechanics, and carpentry in Genoa.
