What is MIC and why does it exist?
MIC – Timișoara Children’s Interactive Museum – is a space for play and discovery, created for children and families. Across 400 m² inside one of the last surviving bastions of Timișoara’s former fortress, interactive installations invite visitors to explore the city’s past, present and future.
MIC is not a traditional museum. There are no displays you are told not to touch and no need to explore in silence. Every installation is designed to be touched, tested and activated. Mechanics, sensors, projections and hands-on interaction turn each visit into an adventure.
