About Heureka Science Centre in Finland: The seed of Heureka was a Physics

of Technology, and the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, CERN, together with the Ursa Astronomical Association to develop a Project for a
Science Centre. Its main goal was to create a permanent exhibition hall in
Finland for the presentation of science. With an impressive turnout of some
300,000 visitors yearly, Heureka’s exhibitions have also attracted growing interest abroad. During the 1990s, Heureka’s exhibitions toured ten countries on
three continents. The leading Science Centre’s expertise has also been in demand internationally. In 1992, it became the first non-American full member
of the Association of Science-Technology Centres (ASTC) and in 1996, hosted
the First Science Centre World Congress for over 500 participants from 48
countries.
