Geek Out! The Science Museum Just Dropped 3 New Galleries (And They Are Awesome)

Put down the Netflix remote and get ready to have your mind expanded. The Hong Kong Science Museum has leveled up, and it’s arguably the coolest place to be this weekend.

Whether you have kids to entertain or you’re just a massive nerd at heart (we see you), the museum's three new permanent zones, Living Tech, InnoTech, and AI Gallery, are packed with enough buttons, screens, and simulators to keep you busy for hours.

Meet "Betsy" and Drive the Future

The star of the show is undoubtedly "Betsy", the legendary DC-3 airplane donated by Cathay Pacific. It’s not just a dusty relic; it’s a slice of aviation history parked right inside the Living Tech Gallery.

Once you’re done marveling at vintage wings, fast forward to the future with the new autonomous driving simulators. You can also geek out on sustainable tech, checking out how HKUST is inventing emission-free cooling (essential for our humidity!) and how HKU is brewing up future foods like algae and cultured meat.

Art Meets Algorithms

If you think AI is just for writing emails, think again. The new AI Gallery is 90% interactive, meaning you can literally play with the future. We’re talking AI-powered painting, music composition, and gaming. It’s a hands-on way to understand the tech that’s taking over the world without the doom and gloom of job losses and artist rights.

Why You Should Go

It’s interactive, it’s educational without being boring, and it’s right in the heart of TST East. Plus, the new InnoTech Gallery breaks down mind-bending concepts like quantum computing and DNA editing into stuff your kids can actually understand.

So, gather the squad (or the family) and get down there. Science just got fun ya'll.
