Armistice Day at the Palace of Science with a hands-on workshop, a visit to the RTS digitisation centre and films under the dome

The Palace of Science will be open from 10:00 to 18:00 on Wednesday, 11 November, for Armistice Day.

How does a small idea become an invention? What happens to television footage after it airs? What stories are hidden in a former bank vault? Pick what you’d like to explore this Armistice Day, then check the planetarium schedule and find a film to watch under the dome.

11 November 2026 at 12:00 — From Idea to Invention workshop

What might you invent if you paid closer attention to how things move, give off light or make a sound? Through hands-on experiments and challenges, children will discover how inventors drew on their understanding of nature to solve everyday problems. Then they’ll see where a question of their own might lead.

The workshop is for children aged 7 to 14. It lasts 90 minutes and takes place in the Atom Room on the third floor. Workshop details and tickets https://palatanauke.rs/dogadjaji/od-ideje-do-izuma/.

11 November 2026 at 16:00 — Tour of the RTS Centre for Digitisation Development

From the earliest television recordings in 1958 to programmes made just days ago, the Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) archive documents how the world we see on screen has changed. On the tour, you’ll find out how recordings are digitised, preserved and made accessible to future viewers and researchers.

The tour lasts 90 minutes and starts in the Šalter Hall on the ground floor. It is included with a ticket to the permanent exhibition for 11 November. Places are limited and advance registration is required. More details: https://palatanauke.rs/dogadjaji/naucni-centri-uzivo-centar-za-razvoj-digitalizacije-rts-a/.
