Science in white and red
Scientific project
“Science in white and red” is an initiative of the Museum of Sciences of the University of Navarra and Fundación Caja Navarra that aims to explain the science behind one of the most internationally recognized events: the San Fermin festival.
Through nine infographics, visitors can discover the science behind the Chupinazo, the City Hall Square, the bull, the giants, the running of the bulls, fireworks, and music. In addition, two infographics provide essential context for the project: Saint Fermín and Hemingway.
