Prepared for a journey of discovery?
Over the course of human history, science has developed from our early understanding of fire, wind, water, and earth to exploring everything from galaxies far away to the very building blocks of life itself.
DO YOU HAVE AN INNER EXPLORER?
The aim of our museum is to create a space where everyone can experience the wonders of our discoveries and perhaps even ignite a lifelong passion to continue the exploration of the world around us.
We believe in making science come alive through interactive exhibits. Please note that our dinosaur exhibits only come to life after hours.
