Nehru Science Centre, Science museum in Worli, Mumbai, India

The Nehru Science Centre occupies a concrete building in Worli, Mumbai, with a tan, stepped facade and broad entrance stairs. Inside, themed galleries hold over 500 interactive exhibits on mechanics, energy and sound, while the grounds contain a steam locomotive, a tram car and an air-force aircraft.

Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi opened the center in 1985, following earlier exhibitions on light and sight plus the creation of a park. These steps laid the groundwork for the current center with its many themed areas and large outdoor section.

The centre is named after Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister. It serves as the Western Zone Headquarters of the National Council of Science Museums, with centres in Nagpur, Calicut, Bhopal, Dharampur and Goa under it. National Science Day is celebrated here on 28 February.

The museum opens daily from ten in the morning until six in the evening and remains accessible on Sundays and public holidays. Only during Holi and Diwali does the facility close for a few days.

The outdoor section extends over more than three hectares and combines interactive science stations with numerous plant species. This combination turns the visit into a walk where nature and experiment sit side by side.
