The Science Museum of the University of Coimbra is an interactive science museum that aims to provide visitors of all ages an entertaining environment in which to discover science. The Museum presents the University’s collections of scientific objects and instruments as well as a series of exciting exhibits and hands-on experiments.

The Museum offers many activities. Its temporary exhibits, guided tours, workshops and informal meetings with scientists have become well known and very successful amongst the public.

The reclassification of the Laboratorio Chimico, a unique building that is a milestone in the history of Chemistry, is the first stage of a project that aims to become a key centre for the promotion of science and of scientific museology in Portugal.
