Hong Kong Science Museum

The Hong Kong Science Museum is a science-themed museum in Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong, located next to the Hong Kong Museum of History.

The museum has a DC3 airliner suspended from the ceiling. Amongst the exhibitions there is a giant ball-dropping machine (see image), and various exhibitions on electricity generation and use, as well as about recycling, products, digital music, and acoustics.

The most popular exhibition items for children are a computer area; a car, which children can pretend to drive while trying to drive smoothly on a computer simulation of a road; and a small life-sized unmoving aircraft with a video of flying around Hong Kong. Refreshments are provided at a small cafe.

About 500 exhibits are displayed in the permanent exhibition area. The most prominent exhibit is the 22-m high twin-tower Energy Machine which is the largest of its kind in the world. A total of 18 galleries cover a wide range of science and technology topics including light, sound, motion, electricity and magnetism, mathematics, life science, geography, meteorology, computer, transportation, communication, food science, energy and home technology. About 80% of the exhibits are participatory so that visitors may learn through direct involvement.
