Scientists and Inventors discovered and created many things because of their curiosity. Like Galileo Galilee’s Telescope where he used it to observe planets like Venus and Jupiter, Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone that is widely used today as one of our tools for communication, or Isaac Newton’s law of motion. We won’t be able to develop without their breakthrough. Science is a now necessity in this time of day.

THE TECHNOLOGY GALLERY is located above all four galleries and it’s also the largest among all. The gallery is divided into five major themes with each theme occupying a Node. The themes of the Nodes are: How We Live, Who We Are, How We Know, How Things Work, and Here to There. This gallery is also a representation of how humans, with the tools we invent and innovate, are able to express our ingenuity and how technology helps us to become better humans.

BTW When you enter the museum you’ll first be greeted by a robot named Aedi (Idea spelled backward).
