Who said that science museums must necessarily be boring? Forget the didactic expositions hated by children, the new science museums host such engaging exhibitions that perfectly mix game and education, so as to be suitable even for children … or to those, like me, spent at least half a day for conjugal duties.
ArtScience Museum in Singapore
Fusion between science and art, is an interactive space that fascinates adults and children: you are under a digital waterfall, watch the drawings of your children’s creatures come to life and swim in a digital aquarium and let the children throw themselves into a huge well of bright spheres that change color when hit.
Science Museum in London
As you can imagine it is one of the most historic in the world, but has evolved over time to meet the changing needs of the public, opening for example the creative and immersive gallery of Wonderlab where you can participate in live experiments, browse in the area of mathematics, know them perhaps on a series of giant slides or lie under a shining sky to discover the constellations.
CosmoCaixa in Barcellona
In this case the word is “Touch”: the exhibits include an Amazon rainforest complete with live crocodiles and piranhas, a geological wall made of real rock that shows the different geological segments of the world and a planetarium to tell the journeys in the space.
American Museum of Natural History
Become even more famous with the movie Night at the Museum, home to one of the largest dinosaur fossils ever discovered and the fascinating location of the Upper West Side of Manhattan makes it truly unique.
NEMO Science Museum di Amsterdam
The new Life in the Universe exhibition takes visitors on a journey to the stars, touching a 4.6 billion year-old real meteorite and protecting the earth from the dangers of outer space in an interactive game.
Innovation Museum in Odaiba – Tokyo
How to forget the 6 hours spent inside this huge futuristic space?
Dedicated mainly to biology, space exploration and technology, the most curious aspect regards the robotics part with the demonstration of ASIMO (the humanoid robot created by Honda) and the Geo-Cosmos, a giant globe-shaped display showing the conditions and the movement of the earth in high resolution.
Eureka!
