From everyday science to cutting-edge technology, a hands-on science and technology museum where you can learn through play
【科学技術館】

Located in Kitanomaru Park, Chiyoda, Tokyo, 「科学技術館」 is a comprehensive museum that introduces science and industrial technology close to our daily lives.

Inside, from the 2nd to the 5th floors, there are about 20 themed exhibition rooms where you can engage with a wide range of science and technology fields related to everyday life, such as electric power, electronics, energy, automobiles, construction, and pharmaceuticals.

Its greatest appeal is that you can not only look at the exhibits but also touch and operate them to experience how science works. In addition, programs such as experiment shows and craft workshops are held, allowing children and adults alike to learn while having fun according to their interests.

A place where you can feel science up close and encounter new discoveries.

You can view the posted images at their original size by tapping or clicking.

1. Explore the world of science and technology in about 20 themed galleries

At the Science and Technology Museum, themed galleries span the 2nd to 5th floors. Through hands-on exhibits, you can learn about the science and technology that support everyday life and society, including vehicles and manufacturing, electric power, electrical/electronic/information and communications, medicine, construction, steel, recycling, and more.

For example, on the 2nd floor, “ワクエコ・モーターランド” features car-themed exhibits, and on the 3rd floor, “デンキファクトリー” offers exhibits related to electric power. Also, on the 4th floor there is “建設館,” where you can experience construction technologies, and “鉄の丸公園1丁目,” where you can learn about steel.

Because each gallery is organized by theme, those who like vehicles, are interested in manufacturing, or want to learn about the environment and energy can tour according to their interests—which is part of the appeal.

2. Learn science through experiment shows and craft workshops

Inside the museum, in addition to viewing exhibits, programs are offered that let you actually experience scientific principles and how technologies work.

At the “実験スタジアム” on the 4th floor, experiment shows explore the scientific principles and technologies used in familiar products. In addition, programs such as craft workshops are available, allowing you to enjoy learning while deepening your interest in science.

Through experiments and making things, you can get in touch with scientific mechanisms that you usually pay little attention to. It’s a place of learning for children, and even adults can look forward to new discoveries.

※ Program contents and times may vary by day, so please check the official website before your visit.

3. Discover new ways to enjoy science at “FOREST”

A highlight unique to the Science Museum is "FOREST."

Centered mainly on the 5th floor, "FOREST" is a hands-on exhibition area that emphasizes play, creativity, and discovery. A variety of exhibits are available, including "Illusion B" themed around the senses, "Sound" themed around audio, "Mecha" themed around machines, and "Opto" themed around light.

Through the exhibits, you observe phenomena, think for yourself, and make new discoveries. That is the appeal of "FOREST": an experience you can actively enjoy. It’s more than just looking—you can fully enjoy experiences unique to the Science Museum.
