Step into the future with the Think Ahead exhibition, where science meets imagination to show how advances will transform our lives. This engaging exhibition features over 200 objects from the past, present, and speculative future, blending technology with hands-on experiences.
Discover how cities might evolve, how new materials could change our homes and clothes, and what future food might look like. The exhibition includes scale models of boats, planes, and trains that illustrate 200 years of transport evolution.
Interactive activities invite you and your children to design future sneakers, vehicles, and even upgrade your own body with special features, sparking creativity and curiosity.
The exhibition highlights milestones in medicine, including the da Vinci Surgical Robot, and explores future music technology like the laser harp for the hearing impaired. Learn about the layers of city infrastructure, including transport, waste, water, and energy systems.
