About the China Science and Technology Museum
In Chaoyang, Beijing, China, the China Science and Technology Museum serves as a national museum for science and technology. Its establishment dates to 1988, and it is affiliated to China Association for Science and Technology. According to the Beijing government's official website, it is the only comprehensive museum of its kind at the national level in China.
In 2000 the museum grew at a site along the northern stretch of Beijing's 3rd Ring Road. Ahead of the 2008 Summer Olympics, new buildings were started in 2006 at the Olympic site. The new museum welcomed visitors in September 2009, and its space had increased from 40,000 to 48,000 square meters.
The Olympic-site museum houses both permanent and temporary exhibitions, plus many facilities for science popularization, including classrooms, laboratories, lecture halls and four special-effect theaters. Its location is the Beijing Olympic Village, close to the Beijing Subway's Olympic Green station. The older site reopened under a new name, Beijing Science Center, on September 15, 2018.
