Science and Technology Museum of Merida, Science museum in Mérida, Venezuela.
The Science and Technology Museum of Mérida occupies a renovated former sugar processing plant with multiple exhibition halls covering different scientific subjects. The galleries display objects related to natural sciences, engineering, and industrial development throughout the building.
The building was originally an industrial sugar processing facility that was later transformed into an educational center for the Andean region. This conversion reflects the shift from industrial production to scientific education in the area.
The museum displays how scientific progress has shaped local innovations and daily life in the region. Exhibits show the role of technology in the community and how discovery emerged from Venezuelan thinking and practice.
The exhibits are arranged for easy navigation and include information in multiple languages to help visitors understand the displays. Group tours can be arranged in advance to get more detailed explanations of the collections.
The museum grounds include a lake called Laguna la Rosa where aquatic turtles swim among the scientific installations. This combination of natural habitat with educational spaces creates an unusual learning environment.
