Paraguay's MuCi offers science, astronomy, and nature for families during winter break

The Museum of Sciences (MuCi) in Paraguay is presenting a diverse program for the July winter school holidays, offering both free and paid activities. The museum, located at Gral. Santos 1030 in the Textilia complex, aims to engage visitors of all ages with experiences centered on science, astronomy, nature, biodiversity, and technology.

A key attraction is the "San Cosmos" digital planetarium, which will host a vacation colony from July 14 to 17. This event, supported by Conacyt, offers free access via prior registration and features immersive projections on the universe and nature. The planetarium's schedule includes shows like "Zodiac: The Mystery of the Signs," "Solar System (Live Show)," and "Mars: The Definitive Journey." Special showings are adapted for neurodivergent individuals.

Additionally, the "Astro Escuela" returns, targeting individuals over 10 years old. This program combines theory and practice, using the planetarium as an interactive digital whiteboard to teach astronomy concepts. Classes are scheduled for July 14, 16, 21, 23, and 25, with limited spots available and varying ticket prices for early bird and general admission.

The museum's outdoor space, placita MuCi, will also host activities focused on discovering biodiversity and natural spaces. These include a self-guided "Science in the Open Air" tour. Visitors can also take a special tour of the museum's future location on the Costanera of Asunción, currently under construction.
