The Mind Museum Opens To The Public on March 16!
It takes just one spark of curiosity for a child to be drawn into the sciences. The Mind Museum at Taguig, the Philippines’ first world-class science museum, is a good place to start an educational and fascinating science journey with the kids.
Located at Bonifacio Global City (BGC), The Mind Museum houses more than 250 interactive exhibits in five galleries that span the entire range of nature’s elements — Atom, Earth, Life, Universe, and Technology, and an outdoor Science-in-the-Park. This 12,500 sqm learning facility, aims to present science in an engaging way.
What’s Inside
The Mind Museum is an enthralling learning facility for kids age 6 to 96. It has over 250 interactive exhibits. It is a showcase of “What we know, how we know it and what we do with what we know.” The galleries feature science facts, the process of discovery and their applications in technology. It is a place where visitors can learn science principles in a fascinating and interactive way, where teachers can find new and exciting ways to supplement their science lessons, and where students can satisfy their curiosity about how the world works.
Divided into five main galleries, it tells the story of the Atom, Earth, Life, Universe, and Technology:
The Atom Gallery has exhibit pieces that show the strange world of the very small in terms of forces and particles;
The Earth Gallery tells of the story of the planet and our archipelago across the breadth of time; it includes a 3D animated film made by an all-Filipino crew that features 4.6 billion years of the planet’s natural history and evolution in 12 minutes.
The Life Gallery is a dive into deeper understanding of how life surrounds and inhabits us – from microbes to large animals (such as a life size ‘butanding’), and from DNA, cells to a giant human brain model.
The Universe Gallery features the mysterious vastness of the universe and holds clues to where we came from and where we are going. The gallery also contains a unique planetarium which simulates star-gazing from the point of view of literally laying down on a bed beneath the stars.
The Technology Gallery, located above all four galleries, shows how we, with the tools we invent and innovate, are able to express our evolving humanity. It is the story of how we humans have explored ways of being alive!
The Mind Museum also has an outdoor Science-in-the-Park where visitors can experience playful science through four-themed pockets: Music, Math, Living and Water. Other educational offerings include facilities such as an auditorium, laboratory and classrooms, for educational workshops which explore how things work and the relationship of science to other fields of learning.
It is often said that education is the best gift parents can give to their children. If this is so, then experiencing The Mind Museum at Taguig is one of the best educational activities parents can share with their children. It will nurture their children’s curiosity, tickle their imagination, and renew their interest in science. It’s also a fun bonding and learning activity for the whole family.
