Scienceworks is a science museum in Melbourne, Australia which harnesses the power of hands-on experiences, immersive spaces and sensory learning, to inspire and drive future innovation.

A venue of Museums Victoria, Scienceworks was first opened on 28 March 1992 near the historic Spotswood Pumping Station[1] constructed in 1897, whose steam engines form an associated exhibit.

The original vision for Scienceworks was a place for young people to engage with science, technology, engineering and maths in new, fun wpays.

Launched in 2018, the permanent exhibition Beyond Perception: Seeing the Unseen is a series of immersive experiences that teach teenagers about the imperceptible forces that shape our world.

Learn about the science of moving your body (and race against Cathy Freeman) at Sportsworks, or open your eyes to the night sky at the Melbourne Planetarium, complete with a 16-metre full-dome projection, reclining seats and a 7.1 surround sound system.
