Experimentanium Museum of Entertaining Science
original name: Музей занимательных наук «Экспериментаниум»
A Western-style science centre, not a museum: no originals, only apparatus. Excellent for a first acquaintance with physics; it gives nothing at all for the history of science.

Contacts
Of interest to children
The museum exists to be touched. From 5 to about fourteen is the best age.
Access for visitors with limited mobility
The museum — step-free. All three floors are connected by lift and the exhibits are at reachable height.
Getting there — step-free. Sokol has no lift; the building has parking and a level approach. Moscow metro stations almost never have lifts to the platform, except on the Big Circle line and the MCC. A wheelchair user is better served by the surface buses, which are low-floor across the centre.
