This section invites one to play with them & explore the ‘How’ & ‘Why’ of various scientific phenomena. It is the place where both young and adult visitors can enjoy by operating hands-on exhibits, explaining the fundamentals of science. Science has always been a subject which has been usually dealt with a lot of seriousness in schools. This gallery seeks to escape from this trap by providing an opportunity to understanding the underlying principles through the process of experimentation and discovery.
Since the dawn of history, different cultures from across the world have contributed to various branches of Science and Technology, often through interactive contacts across cultures. Unfortunately, history of science and technology is mostly seen in the context of western perspective, often over looking the contributions of other cultures including India.
An attempt is made through this exhibition to showcase ancient Indian independent contributions in technology specially focusing on some important fields of town planning & civil engineering, mathematics, metallurgy, textile, medicine etc.

This exhibition documents the time travel through the 4500 years of glorious tradition and culture of Indian Science. Visitors can see how the Science was an important preoccupation of ancient Indians. We can find the shades of twentieth century thinking in the ancient Sanskrit texts in which concepts of matter, atomism and cosmic evolution were recorded for posterity. Basics of Mathematics, Astronomy, Geometry, Algebra, and numbers (both very large and very small that were part of Indian cultural life since thousands of years) are depicted using interactive presentations and visuals. Some of the most basic discoveries in these areas like Mathematics, Medicine, Astronomy, Natural Sciences, Art & Craft etc., made in India, were contemporary to the best in the world.
In a 3-D movie theatre, visitors wear 3-D glasses in order to see the projections in right perspective. In fact, the two images projected on the screen are the images our left and right eyes see separately. These merge together, when viewed through 3-D glasses, to create the three dimensional view of the projected images. With objects flying off the screen and coming in front, and creepy characters reaching out to grab you, visitors get the real experience and feel part of the projected scenario.
