The futurea Science Center is an impressive combination of history and the future. The building is 500 years old, so Martin Luther must have seen it, and it is certain that the Blume merchants' family lived here - as neighbours to Lucas Cranach, venerable citizens and  local dignitaries.

Today the building is open to all and it gives insights into the world of science. In the futurea Science Center you can find out how chemistry has always influenced our life, and what its influence will be in future.
