Enjoy Science · Infinite Fun

18 April 1991 marked the grand opening of the Hong Kong Science Museum. This year, the museum joyfully celebrates its 35^th anniversary. With our brand-new anniversary logo and a series of exciting activities, we invite you to immerse yourself in the infinite world of science and experience the boundless fun of science exploration!

Brand New 35^th Anniversary Logo Embodies the Core Spirit of the Museum

To commemorate this significant milestone, the museum has specially designed a meaningful 35^th anniversary logo, incorporating the infinity symbol ∞ into the number "35". The logo not only presents the museum's dedicated efforts over the past 35 years in promoting scientific knowledge, but also symbolises the enduring spirit of epuration and sharing that will continue into the future. It reflects on the past while looking ahead to the future – the fun of science is truly limitless.

35-Year Scientific Journey: Exciting Activities Rolling Out

In this special year, the museum has planned a rich and diverse series of exhibitions and activities for everyone to enjoy:

(1) Hong Kong Science Museum 35^th Anniversary Exhibition

To celebrate the 35^th anniversary of the Hong Kong Science Museum, we have specially developed a commemorative exhibition themed "Enjoy Science, Infinite Fun", inviting visitors to step into a time tunnel and revisit this inspiring and joyful scientific journey. The exhibition traces the museum's developmental milestones, showcasing classic exhibitions and activities from past years, displaying the museum's first robot and unveiling the inner workings of the iconic centrepiece "Energy Machine". There will also be interviews with special guest sharing their precious memories intertwined with the museum, allowing visitors to experience the charm of science from diverse perspectives. Additionally, an AI interactive photo booth will be set up, blending innovative technology with playful experiences to capture your joyful moments of encountering science.

(2) Energy Machine Limited Enhanced Edition – 1 July Special

Standing 22 metres tall, the Energy Machine runs through four floors of exhibition halls at the Hong Kong Science Museum. Since the museum's opening, it has remained the most iconic giant installation on display. This April, we launched the Energy Machine 35^th Anniversary Limited Enhanced Edition, and many visitors were left wanting more. To celebrate the 29^th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, we are once again partnering with the School of Innovation of The University of Hong Kong to present the one-day-only "Energy x Light" journey. Luminous orbs in orange, blue, green, and purple will once again roll and race along the 1.6-kilometre track, taking visitors on a wondrous journey that combines visuals and science, adding vibrant colour and a festive atmosphere to this special occasion!
