Fukuoka Science Museum

The Fukuoka Science Museum in Kurume has three main zones covering humanity, life, earth, and space exploration through interactive displays. Exhibits use hands-on experiments and visual demonstrations to help visitors understand scientific concepts across different fields.

The museum opened in 1990 as an important step in expanding science education in the Fukuoka region. Its establishment provided the local community with access to modern scientific exhibits and learning opportunities.

The museum combines traditional Japanese educational methods with modern scientific exhibits, offering programs that connect local students with global scientific discoveries.

The museum is located in Kurume Central Park and is easily reached by train or car from the station. Plan to spend several hours exploring all three zones and the planetarium at a comfortable pace.

The Cosmo Theater features an advanced planetarium screen that projects thousands of stars overhead. The high-definition display creates an immersive experience where visitors can observe celestial movements and distant galaxies.
