About
le Vaisseau

Your mission: DO touch the exhibits and play! At the Vaisseau, the whole family can learn about science and technology while having fun, through the interactive exhibitions on water, nature, light, maths or digital technology! Round off your experience by watching a 3D film or a live performance. All year round, a wide-ranging programme of activities is put on for families and school groups alike, designed especially with you in mind!

The Vaisseau is a uniquely engaging educational venue built and managed by the Collectivité européenne d’Alsace since 2005. For its 170,000 or so visitors welcomed every year, the Vaisseau is somewhere to learn about science in a refreshingly different way and to gain mainstream access to scientific and technological culture. Through the themes explored, the Vaisseau encourages visitors to play an active part in the debate for a clearer understanding of how the world is changing. But most of all, the Vaisseau is somewhere for you to enjoy learning more about the world around us through interaction, experimentation or collaboration.

Actively engaged in the wider community, the Vaisseau is a member of various professional networks advocating for the recognition and development of scientific, technological and industrial cultures, at national and international level alike:

• Association des Musées et Centres pour le développement de la Culture Scientifique, Technique et Industrielle (AMCSTI)
• European Network of Science Centres and Museums (Ecsite)
• Hands On - International Association of Children in Museums
• MINTaktiv
