More than a traditional museum, a visit to Osaka Science Museum is definitely an immersion into the practical world of scientific experiments. A fun and undoubtedly effective way to learn the concepts of science, chemistry and physics. The Museum has four floors of interactive exhibits and displays, with particular attention to children, who can learn about universe and energy, seeing, touching and playing. Each floor is dedicated to a different theme: the universe and discovery, familiar chemistry, enjoy science, electricity and energy.A science show is held three time a day (in Japanese only). In addition to the exhibits, the Museum has a Planetarium, which has a high-performance projector that can project 28,000 stars on a dome screen of 26,5 meter of diameter.
