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) Energy Machine 35^th Anniversary Special Enhanced Edition

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. To celebrate the 35^th anniversary, we have partnered with the School of Innovation of The University of Hong Kong to create luminous orbs in orange, blue, green, and purple. The orbs roll and race along the 1.6‑kilometre track, embarking on a spectacular and dazzling "Energy x Light" journey!
