Overview
As a landmark facility representing Korea’s advanced science and technology capabilities, Gwacheon Sciencetorium shares with the public scientific principles that govern daily lives and shape the future of the nation.
The main building of Gwacheon Sciencetorium (which is shaped like an aircraft taking off) has five open-run exhibition centers: Basic Science Center, High-tech Center, Children’s Experience Center, Natural History Center, and Traditional Science Center. Nearby are the planetarium, observatory, outdoor exhibition venue, and insect ecosystem center. In the front yard are the Science Plaza, Science & Culture Square and Sculpture Park where visitors can take a rest and enjoy the great outdoors.
Over 50% of the exhibition items on display at the Sciencetorium are interactive, allowing visitors to jump in and experience science first-hand using both their minds and their imaginations. The museum is one of the leading institutions of its kind worldwide.
