Esplora, Malta’s National Interactive Science Centre is set to open on Friday at the former naval hospital in Bighi.
The facility is meant to be a hands-on experience designed to make science appealing and relevant to all
Visitors will be invited to explore indoor and outdoor exhibitions, attend science themed workshops and enjoy Planetarium shows.
Explora is a €26 million project, €12 million of which have been contributed by the EU. It has been piloted by the Malta Council for Science and Technology.
