Kerala Science and Technology Museum, Science museum in Thiruvananthapuram, India
The Kerala Science and Technology Museum is a science museum in Thiruvananthapuram featuring sections on electricity, electronics, power, motion, and mechanics. Additional galleries cover solar energy and various engineering fields for hands-on exploration.
The museum was founded in 1984 by the Kerala government to promote scientific understanding in the population. The Priyadarsini Planetarium was added in 1994, expanding the complex with astronomical education.
The museum draws people eager to understand how science shapes everyday life. Interactive displays let visitors experiment and learn how machines and energy actually work.
The museum is located near PMG Junction and is open daily except Mondays. Visitors should allow adequate time to explore the various galleries and wear comfortable shoes.
The planetarium uses specialized projection technology to display celestial bodies and cosmic phenomena. This combination of an on-site museum and planetarium is uncommon in this region.
