The Vila Real Science Centre is located in the Quinta de São Pedro area, a part of Vila Real. This location, within the city's urban perimeter, makes it easily accessible for visitors, integrating into the urban environment.
This space is dedicated to the vast natural heritage of the Trás-os-Montes and Douro regions. Its main objective is to interpret, through the lens of science, how this vast and diverse territory formed and evolved over time. The Centre seeks to awaken curiosity about the natural sciences, promoting a greater understanding and a spirit of citizenship in relation to the natural world around us.
A visit to the Vila Real Science Centre offers an immersion into the region's geological and biological history through its permanent exhibition. This exhibition narrates the formation of the Trás-os-Montes and Douro territory, from its most remote origins to the present day. Divided into different chronologically organized modules, the exhibition invites visitors to explore how geology, hydrology, botany, zoology, climate, and landscapes shaped this area. The experience is enriched by interactive elements, video projections, and pathways that allow for a more engaging discovery.
The Vila Real Science Centre comprises several buildings that house not only exhibition spaces but also laboratories and areas dedicated to science communication activities. The complex's design aims to create an environment conducive to discovery and learning, exploring themes in a didactic and appealing way.
