Toyama Science Museum

The Toyama Science Museum is a science museum in the city of Toyama with multiple exhibition floors covering natural sciences, technology, and environmental topics. The building features interactive zones where visitors can conduct experiments themselves, as well as specialized research spaces.

The facility was founded in 1979 as the Toyama City Science and Culture Center and has served as a scientific education hub since its opening. A major renovation in 2007 modernized the exhibitions and technical infrastructure.

The museum draws families and school groups who gather to discover science through hands-on activities and interactive displays. The exhibitions are designed so visitors can experiment and understand how the natural world and technology work through direct experience.

The museum is typically open Monday through Saturday and allows visitors to explore the exhibitions at their own pace. Plan to spend several hours to fully experience the different floors and interactive zones.

The museum features a modern planetarium that regularly presents astronomy shows, offering an immersive experience of the night sky. This special offering makes it a notable destination for those interested in stars and space.
