At the end of the year, their international residency programme will be up and running. Also, in the coming months, four different restaurants and bars will open their doors in Kai: Lore, a self-described Kalamaja community bistro; Kampaii, which offers authentic tastes of Tokyo; the hedonistic Kaif, and the cake studio Suhkruingel.
Proto Invention Factory
The Proto Invention Factory brings together virtual reality, science and the world of fantasy. In the historic Noblessner foundry, centuries-old scientific achievements come to life with the help of VR glasses. The family-friendly invention factory is both entertaining as well as educating: thanks to the hands-on exhibits, you can explore physics and technology from an entirely new angle. And furthermore: do things that you might not dare to try in real life! The VR experience starts with a little instruction and is something anyone can manage.
