Curatorial context

The Copernicus Science Centre has celebrated the opening of its 50th Zone of Discovery, Imagination, and Activity (SOWA) in the historic city of Żywiec, Poland. This new zone aims to bring hands-on scientific exploration to the city, adding a new chapter to its rich history. Upon opening, visitors, including 'Young Discoverers,' were immediately drawn to the engaging exhibits. The space features interactive installations designed for exploration and experimentation, as well as a workshop area called 'Majsternia' where participants can build and test creations, such as flying objects tested in a large wind tunnel. The initiative is funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education as part of a larger project to establish 50 local SOWA zones across Poland between 2021 and 2028, fostering scientific curiosity and engagement. The opening event was met with great anticipation, with excitement palpable as visitors waited to enter. Once inside, the interactive nature of the exhibits captured immediate attention, encouraging active participation. The 'Majsternia' provided a space for creative tinkering and iterative design, with constructions being built, tested, and rebuilt. The overall experience is designed to allow visitors to actively 'experience' the world rather than just be told about it, making science accessible and fun. This launch signifies a significant expansion of accessible, engaging scientific learning environments across Poland.
