Special, loud programs await visitors on Sunday, February 13th, at the Agora Science Experience Center’s 7th birthday. Unusual performances on this day are all built around sound.
Among other things, visitors can get an answer to the question of how our instruments make sound and whether there is a musical device that can be played without touch. During a spectacular experimental demonstration, those interested can test their hearing and follow the path of the sound waves. On the birthday day, small and large cubes, cylinders, and other bodies can be used to coax sounds from Agora’s high-tech electro-acoustic DJ counter and get acquainted with quite a few exotic instruments.
The Science Center can be visited on this day with a discounted ticket. The price of the birthday ticket for children and adults is 1000 HUF / person.
