About

A science museum on the theme of space and energy. The displays are mostly of the hands-on kind, to be looked at and touched, so science can be learned enjoyably by children and adults alike. Science shows given by specialist staff are popular, and the planetarium reproduces a night sky close to the real thing on one of the largest dome screens in the world.
