Urumqi Science and Technology Museum

Urumqi Science and Technology Museum, Science and technology museum in Saybagh District, China.

The Urumqi Science and Technology Museum occupies 6,800 square metres on three floors of a snow-lotus-shaped complex at 1 Heilongjiang Road, on the former site of the Urumqi Youth Palace. Its three permanent halls cover technology experience, exploring mysteries, and humans, nature and life health, with over 100 exhibits including a maglev globe and a car driving simulator.

The museum was designed in October 2005 and its foundation stone laid on 28 May 2006 on the site of the former Urumqi Youth Palace. The building was completed on 1 December 2007, and the museum opened to the public on 10 August 2011. In May 2013 an earthquake prevention and disaster reduction education base, funded with over one million yuan by the Tianjin Earthquake Bureau, was inaugurated there.

Since 2012 the museum has held themed science events around Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, such as the "science red envelope" New Year greeting and Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn culture science weeks. Its mobile science caravan also travels to schools and communities with display boards and experiments.

The museum occupies the first three floors of a complex shared with the Urumqi Youth Palace and a cinema at 1 Heilongjiang Road. The entrance square keeps its original trees, and water from the Heping Canal forms a water-play plaza beside it. Admission is free.

The building's form is modelled on a snow lotus, assembled from separate functional blocks. Its forecourt keeps the trees of the former Youth Palace site, and water drawn from the Heping Canal feeds a water-play plaza that doubles as public green space.
