The National Museum of Science and Technology in A Coruna presents the history of applied science, engineering, and technical innovation in Spain. Located at Praza do Museo Nacional de Ciencia, 1, it occupies a contemporary building whose simple, light-filled architecture highlights the exhibition space rather than a monumental setting.

In A Coruna, the site is part of a district open to the city and enriches the local cultural offer with a pedagogical, museum-based approach.

Among the standout highlights are the collections of instruments and technical objects, as well as the variety of themes covered, from physics to industry. The museum offers a concrete look at the role of science in society, with a clear presentation that speaks to enthusiasts and families alike.
