With a focus on Canadian scientific and technological accomplishments, the Museum offers a first-hand look at what has driven Canadian ingenuity. The key words are “hands-on” as visitors push buttons, turn dials and pull levers to explore and experience science and technology through displays, exhibitions and demonstrations. Temporary and permanent exhibits feature marine and land transportation, astronomy, communications, space, computer and domestic technology.

See beautiful antique cars, climb aboard giant steam locomotives and discover the fascinating world of digital technology, all under one roof.
