An educational seismic table (earthquake simulator) is now operating at the Museum offering visitors the opportunity to learn about earthquakes and experience, in a safe environment, real earthquakes.
The table is located in a specially designed hall at the -2 level of the exhibition where information about the phenomenon and the seismicity of eastern Mediterranean is presented. Visitors can experience special programs in Greek and English language, prepared in collaboration with the National Organization for Seismic Protection (OASP) of Greece, about protection measures and good practices against the earthquakes and simultaneously feel earthquakes up to 6 Richter in magnitude.
At present, the programs are offered every half hour, but from October and onwards special educational programs organised for different age groups will be offered to schools.
