Nicolaus Copernicus was undoubtedly born in Toruń and, therefore, it is here that two historical tenement houses, which used to belong to Copernicus’ family, house a museum with its exhibitions presenting the great astronomer and his achievements.
Owing to major renovation in the years 2017–2018, the Nicolaus Copernicus’ House gained an unsurpassed new glitter. Today it is a place combining the most recent multimedia technologies and historical tissue of a medieval house. Visitors may expect knowledge and excitement focusing around three issues, namely old and contemporary knowledge, everyday life of a middle-class family in a late Hanseatic household and the life and works of Nicolaus Copernicus.
Visitors can admire a modern multimedia interactive exhibition using the greatest achievements of the contemporary museum science, namely smartphone applications allowing visitors to extend their knowledge about the exhibition, an audio guide in three language versions (Polish, English and German) and audio description, extended reality, 3D cinema with films about astronomy, history of the universe, great scientific discoveries, the medieval city of Toruń, holograms or visual displays.
One of the new things in the museum is an exceptional medieval roof truss open to visitors. From there visitors can admire a show with starry skies, as it is there that young Nicolaus saw starts for the first time.
The architecture of the 15th-century Gothic house and historical objects also made it possible to restore the reality of everyday life of middle-class families in interiors of a late medieval household. Numerous objects, including, in particular, those showing material culture and customs of middle-class families from Toruń originate from archeological excavations in the Old and New City of Toruń.
