The Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe (, , anglicised as "Science Museum Príncipe Felipe") is a science museum in Valencia, Spain. It is part of the City of Arts and Sciences, an architectural complex within the city, and can be found at the end of Luis García Berlanga Street. Its director is Manuel Toharia, a Spanish science writer and television personality.
