Petrosains, Science museum at Suria KLCC, Malaysia.
Petrosains, The Discovery Centre is a science and technology museum on the fourth level of Suria KLCC in the Petronas Twin Towers. Its galleries include Dark Ride, Space, Speed, Molecule Nano World and a 3D Theatre, and a Petronas Gallery covers oil and gas exploration, petrochemicals and related industries. The entrance carries raised "play smart" lettering and a hexagon logo on a yellow-green wall.
The museum was founded in 1999 by PETRONAS, Malaysia's national oil company, to introduce scientific concepts to the public. Since its opening, it has served as an educational facility bringing scientific knowledge to generations of visitors.
The museum reflects Malaysia's commitment to science education by connecting local natural resources with modern technology through its exhibits. Visitors can see how the nation's energy resources relate to everyday innovations and industrial progress.
Petrosains occupies level four of Suria KLCC, inside the Petronas Twin Towers. It closes on the first Monday of each month for maintenance and upgrading, and stays shut on Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Hari Raya Aidiladha. Last admission is 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and 5:00 p.m. on weekends and public holidays.
The facility features a scaled model of an offshore oil drilling platform where visitors learn about marine engineering and petroleum extraction. This hands-on exhibit makes complex industrial processes understandable through interactive displays.
