Experiment safely – we’re open!

We care about our visitors

When preparing to reopen Copernicus, we took care both of your comfort while experimenting without having to get close to other Visitors, and maintaining the highest standards of hygiene. We want our Visitors to feel comfortable and fully satisfied with discovering the laws of science on their own. 

Safe experimentation

• We reduced the number of Visitors in the Exhibitions and the Planetarium by half. In the Planetarium, we leave one empty seat between Visitors. Family members and people who spend time together on a daily basis can sit next to each other normally.
• We increased the distances between our exhibits, and paved directions to help our Visitors with keeping a safe distance from each other.
• We deactivated all exhibits with strong air blows, as well as those that require blowing on them or bringing your face close to them. An epidemiologist has worked with us on the selection.
• There will be no live shows in the Planetarium. However, short live screenings before films will stay in our repertoire.
• We keep the Robotic Theatre and Labs closed for now. High Voltage Theatre is open, but without live shows.

Hygienic space

We have covered our exhibits and frequently touched surfaces with a special photocatalytic coating, which protects against bacteria, viruses, and fungi for 12 months. This revolutionary nanotechnological solution allows to keep a place clean without constant disinfecting. It also improves the quality of air inside the building

• We installed protective screens that separate our cashiers from the Visitors.
• We increased the number of mixed waste bins. That is where you should throw your used masks, gloves, and disinfecting tissues.
• We ran an extra inspection and cleaning of AC systems and ventilation.
• We introduced temporary airing of communications routes. The air from inside gets out and is replaced with fresh, filtered air.

Attention!

For sanitary reasons, the following are unavailable:

• Cloakrooms. You can use lockers in the Exhibitions.
•  
• Hand dryers in the bathrooms. There are paper towels available.
