The Mind Museum attractions
While there are some seasonal exhibitions and events at the museum, the main attractions here are the five different galleries, each with unique stories to tell.
Atom Gallery
We all know that an atom is the smallest and basic particle of an element. At the Atom Gallery, you’ll be taken into a world of the very small including the forces our naked eyes cannot see like electromagnetism and gravity. Let your imagination wander in this gallery with the biggest number of interactive exhibits!
Life Gallery
The Life Gallery will open your eyes to different life forms that exist on planet Earth. From zoology and botany to genetics and evolution, you’ll discover and learn so much here. You’ll also find various interactive game panels to test your intellect.
Earth Gallery
Teleport back to the prehistoric times and learn how our Earth evolved at the Earth Gallery. This is probably the most photographed section of the museum, thanks to its T-Rex centerpiece, which is the country’s first permanent T-Rex exhibit.
