Scienceworks Museum
Editorial
Located at Spotswood's historic Pumping Station, Scienceworks is just five minutes from the city and one of Melbourne's three most vibrant museums.
The century old Pumping Station is a permanent fixture offering daily tours, enormous steam engines in action and old boilers, and The Muck Bunker Stormwater Experience, an interactive exhibition exploring stormwater pollution and the protection of waterways.
Escape to the mind expanding universe as you recline in comfortable seats in the Southern Hemisphere's first digital Planatarium, and catch the new purpose built lighting room at the Victoria University High Voltage Theatre, with its electrifying show featuring a two million volt lightning demonstration.
Go on a guided tour behind the scenes in the Scienceworks Collections store and see some of the historic objects featured in the museum's heritage collection. Discover how your heart and lungs work, watch your muscles and bones in action on a bicycle, or test your fitness and skill in a ten metre sprint challenge against Cathy Freeman.
Explore the science behind the familiar objects in our homes with 50 interactive exhibits, or let the little ones discover city life in an interactive Nitty Gritty Super City, featuring a construction zone, a role-play café, a digger, a cargo ship and an interactive music bowl.
With plenty of changing exhibits, live demonstrations, tours, activities and shows all year round, improve your understanding of science and technology and the role they play in everyday life.
