National Science Centre

The National Science Centre was established in 1996 to promote greater understanding and interest in science and technology. It provides an aptly futuristic setting for nine galleries depicting various scientific exhibitions.

Located in a harmonious and attractive environment, Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, this new national landmark has a unique architecture that resembles a truncated cone capped by a geodesic dome. The National Science Centre, an institution of informal learning, was entrusted with the mandate to promote awareness, appreciation, interest and understanding of Science and Technology.

The Centre houses many different exhibits designed to stimulate, excite and encourage visitors to take an active interest in Science and Technology. The exhibits located in various galleries are based on different themes, which can be categorised into two groups, 'Basics Sciences' and 'Technology'. The overall concept of the Centre is to link science to environment and religion, as well as to relate science with all aspects of life, knowledge and applications in our daily life.

Among the fascinating themes featured in the exhibition galleries are an environmental odyssey, pathways to discovery, future world and thinking machines.

Children will find delight in the Children's Exploration Centre. There are also observatory with a 14-inch telescope and viewing gallery with binoculars.
