Exploration Gallery: Shake in an earthquake, see under the sea, and use the gadgets that take us to places we have only been able to imagine.


Life Tech Gallery: Experience the "how" of machines that keep us alive and explore technologies which enhance human performance. Ponder the debate about the applications and ethics in biotechnology.
