Kiohisung National Science Technology Museum

For the adult audience like myself, I also learned history and science a bit. However, I expect more sessions on advanced technology such as robotics, and digital transformation with interdisciplinary content and impact.

In the early morning, I took the light train to visit one of the biggest science museums in Kaohsiung, Taiwan - the National Science Technology Museum, learning about modern technology growth and development of the global world and igniting the imagination on how to reinvent a highly innovative human society

On the first floor, it exhibited the history of the museum establishment with general information on cross-century dialogues and urban city development. On the second floor, there were machinery and telecommunication technologies exhibitions, presenting their impact on human society. In the modern life session, the science of cooking session exhibits global gourmet foods, as well as using methods gadgets, or tools on how to produce healthy food and live a better life.

On the third floor, there was a healthcare exhibition that introduced different systems of the human body; and there was a transportation exhibition that introduced different transportation tools and their impact on human society. Alice Wonderland has been used as an analog to walk people through the technological content to present natural biodiversity. Schoolkids came over to do experiments in the science lab. I saw a large group of young students coming here that day to explore the science and have fun there.

On the fourth and fifth floors, school kids can come over to do experiments in a science lab, cultivating a scientific attitude to do research.

On the sixth floor, there was a spaceship exploration session and digital exploration sessions. A few interactive games bring kids some fun. There is a session on “disaster prevention,” introducing some prediction techniques or preparation methodology.

There was also a special session on communication technology. It exhibits the audio-video-photographic technology, the book production processes, and the historical development of the communication industry. For quite a while, my communication system didn’t function smoothly, it caused lots of damage. So we all should know how important those technologies make an impact on our daily life


On the underground floors, there was a fun science session for young kids introducing physics and mathematics with interactive little games. There was an agricultural section that briefly introduced agricultural development with some plant images in Taiwan.


Overall speaking, it’s an educational science museum, especially for students. For the adult audience like myself, I also learned history and science a bit. However, I expect more sessions on advanced technology such as robotics, and digital transformation with interdisciplinary content and impact. Also, I didn’t see any female scientist representation in the exhibition. I hope they will add more enriched content in the future to attract a worldwide audience to visit, and inspire more people to learn science and advance humanity.
