Osaka Science Museum

Opened in 1989, the museum was constructed to mark the 100th anniversary of Osaka City.

The construction was funded through a 6.5 billion yen donation toward building costs from Kansai Electric.

Like the rest of the museum, these demonstrations are in Japanese only and visitors may require prior scientific knowledge to enjoy them.

In July 2004, the planetarium reopened after a renovation displaying the entire night sky as a next-generation digital image.

The science building is the place where Hideki Yukawa created his theory on mesons, for which he was awarded a Nobel Prize.
