Museums
Ecosystems
Travel back in time to gain a unique insight into the natural world – both past and present, understand the importance of ecosystems and how they influenced the development of biodiversity of our planet over millions of years. Explore Southeast Asia’s rainforests and see how mangroves help the ecology. Dive into an underwater wonderland and go nose-to-nose with the wildlife in our pool! Get to know more about Kuwait’s extraordinary wildlife; how do creatures live in extreme environments? What is the link between trade and our natural habitat? Test your skills in our interactive displays and learn about how we can keep the coastal community alive and help sustain the planet. Experiment spaces are an important part of the Centre’s unique quest for innovation and intellectual growth in science, technology, geology, and the environment. The museum houses an area dedicated to wildlife experiments (the Wildlife Laboratory).
Our Earth
Enter the world of the dinosaurs! See the amazing reptiles and mammals that lived on earth up to 65 million years ago. Be amazed at the huge creatures that inhabited Kuwait’s prehistoric seas, how did they sound? What did they eat? Become a paleontologist for the day in our Dino Lab and try to unearth your own dinosaur in our interactive exhibit! See the world of geology and geography come alive as we delve below the earth’s crust to its fiery core. How does Kuwait’s industry and climate affect the world and how can we affect changes in the environment, at home and in the community to ensure a cleaner, greener planet? Experiment spaces are an important part of the Centre’s unique quest for innovation and intellectual growth in science, technology, geology, and the environment. The museum has a space for ground experiments (Earth Lab), a space for dinosaur experiments (Dino Lab), and Under Five Interactive Area (Animals & Us).
Transportation and Robots
Through the centuries the evolution of transport has taken us from elementary hot air balloons to jet engines, horse-drawn carriages to cars and small boats to oil tankers. Learn about Kuwait’s maritime heritage and its long history of boat-building. Meet our Giant Robot and discover the latest ways robotic technology is assisting humans. Visit our Demo’ Area to learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and interact with robots or learn about basic scientific processes in the Experiment Gallery. Innovators will enjoy our Maker Space where creative ideas and scientific innovation is in your hands! Experiment spaces are an important part of the Centre’s unique quest for innovation and intellectual growth in science, technology, geology, and the environment. The museum has a space for science experiments (The Experimentation Laboratory), a corner dedicated to 3D printing and several other workshops (Makers Space) and Learning area (Learning Zone).
Human Body
There is nothing more exciting and intricate than the workings of the human body and mind. Its secrets are revealed as we journey through its complex functions and realize how our brains act as super-computers! Encapsulating exhibits explain how the brain and body work in tandem. The importance of health becomes clear when we learn how our bodies are tested when under attack! Through a 4D show, the interactive character Kashef enlightens audiences to the marvels of the body’s indefatigable defence mechanisms. Experiment spaces are an important part of the Centre’s unique quest for innovation and intellectual growth in science, technology, geology, and the environment. The museum has a space for biology experiments (Biology Laboratory) and a play area for children Under Five Interactive Area (Science Skills).
Arabic Islamic Science
With its focus on the Golden Age of Islam and the innumerable scientific, cultural and artistic contributions of Muslims and Arabs to modern day science, the Arabic Islamic Science Museum highlights their ground-breaking work and accomplishments allowing visitors to proudly reconnect with the inspirational message of Islam, which actively encouraged scientific discovery. We recognize the work of Arab and Islamic scholars in the fields of Exploration, Medicine, Astronomy and Engineering; we see how scientific discoveries contributed to the architectural wonders of the Islamic world. Lastly, we are offered the spectacular opportunity to converse with ancient polymaths Al-Khwarizmi and Al-Biruni who appear to have been brought to life in a uniquely entertaining exhibit. The museum has a learning area (Learning Zone) and an activity area (Activity Table).
Space
The study of space and the universe has always evoked mystery and inspiration. The Centre’s Space exhibit gives audiences an unprecedented opportunity to explore the wonders of this unknown universe. Visitors can observe the galaxies and the vast cosmos and get a glimpse of some of the most important discoveries in the history of space exploration. Some of the most important discoveries in particle physics are due to the work undertaken at the Large Hadron Collider, (LHC), a giant particle collider based near Geneva. It is considered the most complex experimental facility ever built. Visitors have a rare chance to see for themselves why this gargantuan scientific experiment is so important. Experiment spaces are an important part of the Centre’s unique quest for innovation and intellectual growth in science, technology, geology, and the environment. The museum has a learning area (learning Zone) and the hall of the late astronomer Dr. Salih Al-Ajeery (Intergalactic Space).
