phanTECHNIKUM, Wismar

Phantechnikum is an interactive scientific institution in Wismar introducing visitors to the history and development of technology in the Land of Mecklenburg-Front Comotor. In addition to the traditional exhibition, guests of the museum have the chance to "test" the exhibits collected in it, including through various types of experiments. The facility has nearly 2,500 m² of exhibition space. Until 2011, Phantechnikum was located in the former coach house in Schwerin. Currently, the seat of the facility is located in Wismar in the buildings of former military barracks located near the People's Park.

The exhibits collected in the Phantechnic are presented in four exhibition spaces corresponding to the Platonic division of the elements into: fire, water, earth and air. Thanks to this, the accumulated products of human technical thought create a coherent, but also clearly demarcable whole.

Visiting the Phantechnicum, his guests can conduct various types of experiments related to man's use of these forces of nature. The facility's colleagues in the local laboratory offer visitors a number of shows regarding, e.g. fire properties. Almost every facility in the museum can be touched and started.

In Phantechnikum, attractions such as "Fire Tunnel", reconstruction of the Heinkel He 178 aircraft, a Gork Fock diesel engine and a steam engine manufactured by Zakład Świderski are waiting for tourists and technical lovers. It is worth remembering that the presented museum collections do not focus only on the past, but also on the present. Phantechnikum also presents the latest achievements of human technical thought, including in the field of renewable energy sources such as wind farms.
