The museum is committed to social responsibility and environmental protection, carrying out environmental improvements under the "Green Building, Educating Building" project. With over 30,000 square meters dedicated to scientific outreach, the CosmoCaixa Science Museum is one of the most modern science museums in Europe. Its original building, constructed in 1904, has a rich history dating back to its function as a home for the blind.
