The Mind Museum to rise in Bonifacio Global City
9/28/2009 | Ayala Foundation
Science buffs and lifelong learners have something big and bold to look forward to in 2011. The Mind Museum, set to rise on the JY Campos Park in Bonifacio Global City, is a project of the Bonifacio Arts Foundation (BAFI). BAFI is a non-stock, non-profit organization supported by contributions from the Bonifacio Global City property owners.
The Mind Museum aims to be a world-class science museum offering its visitors the opportunity to learn about science by experiencing it through five galleries that present the different aspects and facets of science. The museum will present science in an entertaining and fun manner using over 150 interactive hands-on, and "minds-on" exhibits and displays.
Before entering the main galleries however, visitors will first pass through the McMicking Hall, an exhibit area sponsored by the Ayala Foundation. The McMicking Hall showcases the Ten Most Beautiful Science Experiments throughout history, and is a perfect introduction to the rest of the museum.
The first three galleries - Atom, Life, and Earth"" will let visitors experience the tiny atom, the human brain, and the country's first T-Rex. The Universe Gallery hosts a mini-planetarium, as well as exhibits on gravity, extra-terrestrials, and the sounds of outer space. The piece-de-resistance however, is probably the Technology Gallery, which is the Mind Museum's largest exhibit area. The gallery's main feature is a 360o screen showing the Human Face of Technology. Through the different exhibits in the Technology Gallery, the Mind Museum seeks to demonstrate technology at work, and how we use it.
