The Palace of Science is the first center dedicated to scientific research and popularization of science in Serbia. Spanning across 5,500 square meters filled with both history and the future, diverse content, and activities, it is also the largest science center in the region. The Palace of Science emerged from the vision of its endower, Miodrag Kostić, to create a space in Serbia where science inspires exploration and the pushing of personal boundaries.
When conceptualizing the permanent exhibition of the Palace of Science, inspiration was drawn from the interstellar radio signal known as the Arecibo Message, which was sent to a cluster of stars 25,000 light-years away. The structure and essence of the message have been metaphorically translated into the concept of the permanent exhibition, offering a layered insight into the phenomena of humanity, Earth, technology, and the Universe. Thanks to this, the Palace of Science today resonates with the echo of a message that symbolizes human curiosity, hope, and the eternal quest to understand our place in the infinite universe.
