You may not be able to go inside the episodes of Rick & Morty, but you can have an exploration in the Space Museum. Illustrating the interesting knowledge concerning the enigmatic space, the exhibits present the intricacy in the easiest way.
The colossal pineapple bun
Attracting countless tourists to snap a picture with it, this big pineapple-bun-like structure stunningly stands beside the Avenue of Star. Tourists aside, the building was also the canvas of a special “lightshow”, put on by Hong Kong protestors in 2019. After the police arrested a student for buying a laser pointer, calling the small item an “offensive weapon”, protests leveraged their creativity to show their discontent.
Anyway, back to my point – despite its age, the museum has been under constant refurbishments since 1980. Check it out and find out more.
Extraordinary space theatre
There’s a theatre housed in a hemispherical structure, projecting the panorama of space above your head, stimulating your curiosity by the sensuous animation and stereo. You can check the schedule for the interesting documentaries.
Take a glance at Milky Way
After having a journey through space in the exhibition halls, you may be awed by those invisible but relentless powers that affect the creation of the planet and our daily life. There’re also miscellaneous games set up and tell you the history of our space and galaxy.
