Shrikrishna Science Centre

Shrikrishna Science Centre is a science museum with multiple exhibition spaces where visitors explore interactive displays covering physics, mathematics, astronomy, and biological evolution. The exhibits are designed to convey concepts through hands-on examples and demonstrations.

The center was established in 1978 as the first regional science museum in India under the National Council of Science Museums. It opened during a time when such institutions were rare in the states.

The center is named after a significant political figure from Bihar and serves as a learning space for visitors across the region interested in science. School groups and families use the exhibits to deepen their understanding outside the classroom.

The center is located in the southwestern part of Gandhi Maidan and accessible through multiple entrances, making it straightforward to find. Visitors should allow adequate time to explore all exhibitions and experiment with the interactive elements.

A special section of the center is a Science Park with more than 30 exhibits designed specifically for children to explore science through play. Alongside this stands a section with mechanical dinosaur models that transport visitors back in time.
