Osaka Science Museum, Science museum in Nakanoshima, Japan.
The Osaka Science Museum is a four-story building in Nakanoshima featuring more than 200 interactive exhibits covering space exploration, energy, and scientific principles. Visitors can hands-on experiment and learn directly how scientific concepts work through practical demonstrations.
The museum opened in 1989, designed by Takenaka Corporation to promote public understanding of science and technology. It has served since then as a key educational facility for the Osaka region.
The museum hosts workshops and science demonstrations where visitors participate directly in hands-on learning experiences. These programs run throughout the year and welcome people of all ages to explore scientific concepts together.
The museum sits near Higobashi Station and is open Tuesday through Sunday. Plan to spend several hours exploring the multiple floors and their various exhibits at your own pace.
The museum houses one of the world's largest planetarium domes, displaying astronomical phenomena with advanced projection technology. This dome lets visitors experience the night sky in ways that the naked eye cannot see.
