There are so many exhibitions, but here are some of our favorites.

What is electricity? How is it produced? And what is the connection between electricity and magnetism? The exhibition gives a glimpse into the hidden world beyond our wall sockets.

Fields of Tomorrow

Learn about agricultural technology and how it helps modern farmers grow their crops.

CAPTCHA

What do we really know about computers? Are they really so clever? The exhibit explores the ways in which the computer has influenced our lives and the extent to which it has (or has not) changed the world.

Illusions are surprising, intriguing, and fun. They also give us a peek into the amazing principles that determine how our brain works. The exhibit displays examples of many illusions and how they affect us and our way of perception.
