The CosmoCaixa Museum of Science is located in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona, in a contemporary building devoted to science outreach. The museum features exhibition areas where science is presented through interactive displays, immersive installations and accessible explanations for a wide audience, in a setting designed for observation and discovery.

One of the museum’s best-known features is the flooded forest reconstruction, a large indoor space that recreates a tropical ecosystem with vegetation, humidity and living species. The route also highlights themes linked to matter, energy, the Earth and the Universe, combining sensory experiences with educational content.

CosmoCaixa also includes spaces dedicated to astronomy and scientific research, as well as a programme of activities and cultural mediation. The entire visit makes it possible to approach complex topics in a clear way, alternating models, experiments and installations that illustrate natural or physical phenomena observable in everyday life.

Located at 26 Carrer d’Isaac Newton, the museum is set in a residential and cultural area of Barcelona, away from the busiest tourist routes. Its location in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi makes it a place known both for its educational role and for its place in the city’s museum offer.
