アリス館志賀, Science museum in Shika, Japan
The Alice Science Museum is a science museum in Shika dedicated to interactive exhibits on electricity generation, energy systems, and electrical technology. The three-story building includes specialized areas such as a theater space, a garden section, and an observation deck overlooking the surrounding area.
The museum was established on April 29, 1994, as a nuclear power education center operated by Hokuriku Electric Power Company. It was built near the Shika Nuclear Power Plant to serve as a public information facility about energy generation and related technologies.
The museum is named after Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, using characters from the story to help young visitors understand scientific concepts. This connection to a beloved tale makes learning about science feel like an adventure rather than a formal lesson.
The museum is easily accessible and welcomes visitors of all ages to its interactive displays. The hands-on exhibits are designed so that both children and adults can engage with the scientific concepts presented without requiring any prior knowledge of the subject.
The museum features a dedicated Alice Garden area that integrates scientific concepts into a natural outdoor setting. This outdoor space offers visitors a different perspective on how energy connects to the natural environment around them.
