The Israel National Museum of Science, Planning & Technology

Daniel & Matilde Recanati Center

The Museum, housed in the historic Technion building in Haifa offers visitors - children, teenagers and adults - hands-on experience in the principles of science and technology. Interactive exhibits can be operated by visitors of all ages. These enable understanding of diverse scientific phenomena which we encounter in our everyday lives, such as: How are sound waves created? How do we see color? What is a magnet? How does electricity work?

Over 180,000 people per year visit the Museum and participate in programs.
