Opened in 1937 as Japan's first Hall of Science and succeeded the Osaka Municipal Electrical Science Museum, which introduced the Orient's first planetarium. Under the theme of "space and energy", a facility where adults and children can enjoy learning science at exhibitions, science shows, and planetariums.
Planetarium
The planetarium reflects not only a dome screen with a diameter of 26.5m, but also a starry sky close to the real thing and a powerful universe image. Professional staff will explain live on the starry sky seen at each time and occasional themes related to the universe, and will invite you to the endless world of the universe.
Exhibition Hall
We introduce space, electricity, weather, history of science, various materials, etc. You can enjoy learning about science with experimental equipment that you can touch and test, and real materials collected by curators.
Exhibitions unique to Osaka, such as a reproduction exhibition of the era of the Electric Hall of Science, Gakutennori, and physics research of The University of Osaka, are also enhanced!
Science show
Live performance of science experiments in front of you! There are plenty of experiments that everyone, from children to adults, can enjoy. Let's unravel the familiar mystery together!
Cafe, Zeiss Square
