This place connects science, education, culture and fun
We are the most modern institution in the Copper Region. The Center will be the only place in Poland showing the use of the achievements of the first Polish scientist – Witelon, whose thoughts and works were referred by Nicolaus Copernicus and Leonardo DaVinci. Witelon, born in Legnica, is the creator of the first “Treatise on Optics” in the history of science. The first main exhibition will be dedicated to our patron. EYE. Future Perspective. Check it!

#science&chillout
Our task is widely understood education and popularization of science. We create a place you’ll be happy to return to. It helps to build a creative attitude, open mind and critical thinking skills. But also, and perhaps first of all, spending time in a pleasant way.
Learning & Chillout
These are two basic slogans that guide us every single day. We want each of you to learn something new with us, experience the power of light, test your brain, test your eyes and get to know Witelon. But at the same time, we want the time spent with us to be enjoyable and relaxing. Apart from exhibitions, education, LABO rooms, meetings with scientists and educators, you can simply relax, work on the terrace, as well as taste good food and beverages.
