Principia Science Center

This guide to the Principia Science Center in Málaga starts in October 2023, when the museum's doors abruptly closed to the public overnight. It rewinds to 1994, when local science teachers wheeled homemade experiments into a city fair, and follows the volunteer energy that built the museum on Avenida de Luis Buñuel five years later. You'll meet Antonio Imbroda, the regional official who once nearly shut it down, and founder Sebastián Cardenete, who called a later vote a meeting of sad memory. Stand in front of the Tomás Hormigo hall and look at the exhibits the teachers built from nothing.
