Universeum

About

Universeum is Gothenburg’s flagship science centre, where curiosity meets hands‑on discovery. Spread across ten floors, the venue blends interactive exhibits, live animal displays and immersive 360‑degree shows that appeal to visitors of all ages. From the dazzling Ocean Zone with its massive shark tank to the excitement of Wisdome’s full‑dome virtual reality experience, every corner of Universeum sparks wonder. The centre’s permanent galleries showcase a wide range of themes – the rainforest with lush tropical fauna, the reptili‑arium’s slide‑and‑climb DNA displays, and the chemistry lab where visitors can conduct safe experiments. Space weeks, held from late November to early March, turn the night sky into an experiential classroom, while the Miniverseum offers tailored programmes for children 0‑6 years old. Beyond entertainment, Universeum is a hub for STEM learning, offering educators structured programmes, science clubs, and cross‑disciplinary workshops that weave biology, physics, technology and sustainability into engaging narratives. Whether you’re a family exploring the wonders of nature, a school group embarking on a STEM curriculum, or an adult looking to deepen your scientific literacy, Universeum delivers an unforgettable journey through the world’s most compelling mysteries.
