Discover science and technology at Curiosum! On Saturdays and Sundays, we offer lots of fun and exciting activities for curious visitors of all ages. This weekend, we’re filling the building with exciting activities focused on coding. Bring family and friends to program robots, try musical coding and explore life’s own code – DNA. Discover our interactive exhibitions, build, create and experience immersive adventures in the Wisdome Umeå dome theatre. Welcome to a day full of experiences!
