From butter colouring to copy
Start with the early products and ask which knowledge was later reused. This makes innovation visible as a series of choices and applications, not as one sudden invention.
Looking inside the machines
Compare the feed, paper path and controls of different machines. Ask which technical limitation each design solved and which new demands it created as a result.
Experiments in the Kopielab
On the first Saturday, children can explore principles of physics. Check in advance which experiments are available and what age the activity is intended for.
Before you go
Open every first Saturday from 13.00–17.00 without an appointment; other visits by appointment only. The Weekend van de Wetenschap (Science Weekend) on 3 and 4 October 2026 has separate hours.
