SCIENCE CENTRE “VIZIUM” Alongside opening of the tourism season 2022, also the Science Centre “VIZIUM”, where everyone can explore the exciting nature of physics, mathematics, engineering, technology and science, will open its doors to visitors. More than 80 interactive exhibits are integrated in 22 different study programmes for acquiring knowledge in STEM* area. Visitors of the Science Centre can participate in science shows and creative workshops, have access to a laboratory, study rooms and a prototyping laboratory. The Centre also provides a possibility to organise events and conferences. Next to the conference hall, there is a spacious and modern café, which during the summer season also offers an option to enjoy the meal on the outdoor terrace “with a view of the city panorama from one of the most exclusive and highest points”. Visitors also have an exclusive chance to see the city from the viewing platform, which is one of the highest points of the city. The conference hall can be used as a single room with capacity up to 75 persons, or divided into 3 independent parts for smaller event formats. *STEM: science, technology, engineering, mathematics. STEM is an educational approach to studies, combining science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
It is worth knowing that... The façade of the Science Centre (the author of the idea – Audrius Ambrasas) is made of glass and copper nishing sheets. In order to ensure that copper does not lose its dark golden shine, the sheets are treated with a special technology method, which was used for the rst time in Latvia. On the oor of the Science Centre lobby, which is made as a round globe, a world map with area of 365 m2 is created, consisting of more than 600,000 pieces of Murano glass tiles. In the centre of the map – Ventspils city, under which a capsule with a message to the next generations is embedded. Rūpniecības iela 2, Ventspils www.v z um.lv info@vizium.lv @viziumventspils
