The Osaka Science Museum sits on Nakanoshima, the river island at the city's civic heart, and focuses on the themes of the universe and energy. Its floors are filled with hands-on exhibits demonstrating physics, chemistry, and electricity, many designed for children to operate themselves. A large planetarium projects the night sky and screens astronomy programs beneath its dome. Popular live science shows, with static electricity and low-temperature demonstrations, run through the day, making it a staple family outing on hot or rainy days.
