The Labyrinthum Museum in St. Petersburg began its work in 2010. In it you can not just examine the exhibits, but also in a playful way understand the principle of the operation of different laws of physics, and even participate in real scientific experiments. To study mechanics, dynamics, natural phenomena, the organization of the world without reading boring textbooks and sitting at lessons, children really like, so the exhibition halls of the institution are always filled with visitors. The guests of the museum find themselves inside a huge soap bubble, create a lightning and a tornado with their own hands, rise into the air, look for a way out of the mirror labyrinth, catch their own shadow and do many more things that you can only dream about in real life. "Labyrinthum" is one of the few interactive museums in Russia, although this practice has long become a common thing in the whole world, and institutions of this kind are very popular.

Exhibits

The interactive museum of entertaining science "LabyrinthUm" is located on the territory occupying 700 square meters.

All the exhibits of the museum are of domestic origin. They were created in cooperation with a number of St. Petersburg enterprises and higher educational institutions.

The idea of creating an institution

The museum "Labyrinthum" in St. Petersburg was not accidental. In 1935 the House of Entertaining Science was opened in this city. Direct participation in its creation was hosted by writer Yakov Perelman. In this institution, students of schools could visually and in an accessible form get acquainted with the latest scientific and technical achievements of that time. But the museum did not survive for a long time: all its exhibits were irretrievably destroyed during the Great Patriotic War. The activity of the House of Entertaining Sciences was the impetus for the creation of the Labyrinthum. Visibility and accessibility are the main principles that have become the basis for the work of these two institutions.

The interactive museum of entertaining science "Labyrinthum" is divided into 7 exhibition thematic halls. In the "Black Room" visitors will be shown lasers and lighting effects, in "Water World" they will get acquainted with the origin of waves, tornadoes and the behavior of physical bodies in the liquid. The hall entitled "Man in Numbers" will help to understand how natural phenomena affect the population of our planet. In the "Mirror World" guests of the museum will go on an exciting journey through the reflecting labyrinths. There are two more exhibition halls in the museum. One of them is called "Zone of logical tasks", and the second one is "The World of Physical Experiments". In these rooms, children and their accompanying adults will be offered to solve puzzles and get acquainted with the action of pendulums, air guns, magnetic bridges and other devices designed for scientific experiments.
