| Funny Science, art and nature proposals of the City of Arts and Sciences for the weekend Posted: 18 Apr 2012 11:21 PM PDT The City of Arts and Sciences offers the public a multitude of activities to make learning fun based on science, culture, and nature. At Science Museum public can follow the history of the Valencia FC and through football discover how new technologies that can be applied to sport have developed in ‘Science and sport with the Valencia FC’; immerse themselves in the world of comics and their characters in ‘Marvel superheroes’; or get to know space in ‘Zero gravity’, among other proposals. ‘Choose wisely’ To commemorate the emotion of the legendary phrase of the knight of the first crusade, don’t miss the ‘Indiana Jones™ and the Adventure of Archaeology’ exhibition. The cinematographic treasures exhibited include the wooden grail wisely chosen by Indy (‘This is a carpenter’s goblet’), the lost ark, and the glass skull. The archaeological treasures are as impressive as the first known map of the Mesopotamian civilisation, a set of bowls and vases from Nazca in Peru, and the oldest known evidence of wine production, a piece of pottery found in a Neolithic deposit in northern Iran. This is a great opportunity to view an extensive collection of material from the Indiana Jones films and the Lucasfilm Archives, and at the same time to get to know objects from the National Geographic Society and the Penn Museum. ‘‘Indiana Jones™ and the Adventure of Archaeology’ thus allow visitors to immerse themselves in archaeological science as they get to know the universe of this famous archaeologist, in an enclosure of over 900 square metres created with leading-edge technology. Visitors can also observe local archaeological exhibits from the Region of Valencia, including objects of great value such as the Limestone Torso of the Iberian warrior of l’Alcúdia, a Roman bas-relief from Sagunto, and a Koran from the Municipal Archive of Segorbe, among others. Adults tickets 15 euros and reduced 11,55 euros. The largest aquarium in Europe The Oceanogràfic of the City of Arts and Sciences is the largest aquarium in Europe and contains representatives of the world’s main marine ecosystems. The Oceanogràfic encourages the public to immerse themselves in the planet’s oceans by means of all its aquariums, which house over 45,000 individuals from 500 different species. It is here in this unique setting that the public can know the installations from another viewpoint with a ‘Visit to the other side of the aquarium‘. In this way visitors can see spaces such as the enclosure where the vets work or those devoted to turtle rescue and quarantine, among other experiences. A walk through art It is also possible to stroll in the open air and at the same time contemplate magnificent sculptures at the Umbracle. In the free-access area visitors can also learn astronomy while they have fun experimenting with the 12 elements that make up astronomical instruments, models, and panels; these reveal to the public the main principles of this science to create a real ‘Garden of Astronomy’.
