The childhood home of Nicolaus Copernicus, Dom Kopernika (ENG: The Nicolaus Copernicus' House) would be a must-see in town even if it wasn't connected to the famed astronomer. The building's façade is a stunning example of brick-gothic arches, with stacked arches and swirling orbital details that are a sight for sore eyes. Inside, the 15th century interior and furnishings have been preserved, however the wonders of Copernicus' forays into astronomy are exceptionally brought to life with 3D projections and interactive displays. Films on display in the exhibition include 'Nicolaus Copernicus in Toruń' (20 min.) 'The Universe' (20 min.) and 'Predecessors and followers of Nicolaus Copernicus' (20 min.) This is one of the best museums in Toruń and a visit to the city would not be complete without dropping in!
