Chongqing Science and Technology Museum, Science and technology museum in Jiangbei District, China.
The Chongqing Science and Technology Museum is a modern museum building in Jiangbei with four floors and extensive exhibition spaces. It presents topics like life sciences, transportation, aerospace, and basic scientific principles in interactive ways.
Ground was broken on 7 January 2006 and construction began that October; Guida Moseley Brown Architects worked on the project, which cost 567 million RMB. The museum opened on 9 September 2009 and was rated a national AAAA tourist attraction in September 2010. Entry became free for primary and secondary school pupils on 29 April 2012, and for everyone on 16 May 2015.
The building combines stone and glass in ways that reflect the mountains and waterways of the region. This design makes the museum a visible landmark that celebrates the natural landscape of Chongqing through its architecture.
The museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:30 and 17:00, and you can reach it easily by CRT line 6 to Grand Theater Station. It is best to arrive early as the exhibitions can be busy at certain times.
The building consists of two zones that form a fan or crystal shape when viewed from above. Rising between 80 and 190 feet (24 to 57 meters), this unusual geometry creates a striking visual feature in the cityscape.
