• Instead of a typical one-way exhibition, we engage visitors with our interactive displays to help them experience and learn hands-on, rather than simply stand back and watch.
• We have upgraded the content of our exhibitions to maximize their educational impact.
• We take full advantage of cutting-edge media, artifacts, models and large screens to add excitement, interest, and diversity.
