National Science Centre, Science museum in Chanakya Puri Tehsil, Delhi, India
The National Science Centre contains seven permanent galleries dedicated to scientific concepts, including exhibitions about human biology and emerging technologies.
The center opened its doors on January 9, 1992, when Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao inaugurated this educational institution near Pragati Maidan.
The museum encourages scientific literacy through interactive displays, educational programs, and regular seminars connecting researchers with the general public.

The center features a penny-farthing bicycle donated by former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi as part of its interactive Fun Science gallery collection.
