"Experimentanium" "Experimentanium" was invented to prove that science is not boring. So you even need to touch the exhibits and take it all apart, to run, twist and pull. The Museum was created as a child, but adults, especially who grew up on the magazines "Young technician", will be delighted with him. You can see how a tornado is formed. To draw in the mirror. Park the car, hanging on four ropes. Take the test on the stability of the hands. Leave your mark on a bilateral contact with the wall. To be inside the bubble. Start the pendulums, to throw a coin into the black hole, to build arch bridge, catch hands electric shocks — when in one place so many interesting things, do not want to leave. Hence the only disadvantage to the "Experimentanium" — weekend crowded.
