About
The Sichuan Science and Technology Museum, known locally as 四川科技馆, is an interactive science museum in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province. It stands on Renmin Middle Road Section 1 in Qingyang District, in the city centre, so it is easy to combine with other visits in the area.
What you will find
The museum is built around hands-on exhibits rather than displays to look at from a distance. Its galleries cover a wide range of subjects:
- Aerospace, with exhibits on flight and space exploration
- Physics, where you can test principles by doing
- Biology, exploring living systems and how they work
- Emerging technologies, showing the newer fields shaping everyday life
Who it suits
The interactive format makes the museum a good choice for families and for children, who can experiment and ask questions as they go. Visitors with an interest in science or technology will also find plenty to explore, and anyone who prefers learning by doing rather than reading panels will feel at home here.
Planning your visit
Because the museum is in the city centre, it fits easily into a day of sightseeing in Chengdu. For the latest details, you can call the museum on +86-28-86081999 before you go. The address is 4 Renmin Middle Road Section 1, Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan 610015, China.
