The museum was built on the hill of Pino Torinese on September 27 th , 2007. Today it is deeply rooted in Piedmont and it has strong contacts with leading Italian and international museums. In addition it also collaborates with many universities, research institutions and companies. All of those realities allow the museum to reach its mission: to communicate astronomy to the public. In order to do that, the museum has a team of astronomy communicators able to design and carry out daily activities, national and international projects.
Infini.to is a modern science museum, a Science Centre. It houses numerous interactive installations which allow the guests to experience and go into astronomical themes. Moreover, it is possible to watch many shows inside the dome of the digital planetarium, have guided tours and interactive courses, take a stab at doing scientific experiments.
We also explain astronomy with uncommon instruments like Theatre. The museum becomes the sky theater, a place where the audience can be the real protagonist of the show.
