Ever wondered how we got from the simple lightbulb to our current state of modern technological sophistication? The Museum of Science and Industry is here to answer that question! And better yet, take you on a larger-than-life journey that will allow you to experience the wonders of engineering and design. The Museum is housed in the former Palace of Fine Arts, and indeed its exhibits display an aesthetic quality that will make you marvel at mankind’s ingenuity. These include a life-size replica of a coal mine that will allow you to get down and dirty with the technology of coal mining, giant replicas of famous structures constructed entirely of LEGO, and even a Family Lab where you can try your hand at manufacturing your own designs. Inspirational and hands-on, the Museum encourages curiosity in all of its visitors and will definitely ignite at least a little in you.
