EC1 Łódź – City of Culture
EC1 Łódź – Miasto Kultury
A science and culture centre converted from an old power station, housing a hands-on science centre, a digital planetarium and the National Center of Film Culture.
EC1 was converted from Łódź’s first coal-fired power station and is right next to Łódź Fabryczna railway station. The science and technology centre focuses on electricity, energy and the human body, with many interactive installations. The digital planetarium is one of the most advanced in Poland. The National Center of Film Culture’s permanent exhibition covers the history of film, animation and games, reflecting Łódź’s identity as a “city of film.” Each venue sells tickets separately, and it is recommended to book planetarium sessions in advance on the official website. Allow at least half a day.
