On the revolutions - Innovation Centre Mill of Knowledge in Torun
Apr 2013 – Dec 2013
Project description
Innovation Centre Mill of Knowledge is located in Toruń, Poland. It is going to be a cultural and educational institution of a new type, a place to discover the world through fun and experience. The offer of the institution will be addressed to all kinds of recipients, regardless of their age or education level, however the condition of enjoying it will be an active participation of the visitors, for the mission of the institution is to rouse creativity and inspire to explore independently. Centre is seated in a former steam-powered grain mill that dates back to the 1880s. In 2013 the building was opened to the public after adaptation: 5,000 sq. m were allocated for exhibition space, science labs, exhibition rooms for children, and office space. One of the permanent exhibition titled On the Revolutions, deals with the theme of the Earth’s rotation and alludes to the lifetime work of the famous Nicolaus Copernicus from Torun – “On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres.”
