What about the science museum that is exciting and exciting for children who are tired of studying? Daegu Science Museum is an exciting science playground. Difficult science is also an interesting friend when you touch, see, hear, and crawl. As you play and learn, your thoughts grow and your dreams of science grow.
The National Daegu Science Museum, where you can see 233 interesting exhibits, including the world's largest water clock, a center of gravity public bicycle, SOS to know all the earth's environments, and Korea's largest experiential exhibition life coaster. All of those exhibits are all interesting and novel, but there are ten amazing things you shouldn't miss. Let's meet the pride of the National Daegu Science Museum.
National Daegu Science Museum with many interesting exhibits
When you enter the Science Museum, the first thing that stands out is. It is a water clock 11m high. The sculpture, the world's largest water clock, is the work of French physicist and plastic artist Dr. Bernard Jitton. A large glass pipe moves 320 liters of liquid on the principle of free fall and siphon, and water fills the sphere representing the hours and minutes to tell the time. The water that flows unceasingly embodies the science that never stops and develops without staying.

After passing the water clock, take the escalator to the second floor and there are two permanent exhibition halls on both sides. The left is the permanent exhibition hall 1 and the right is the permanent exhibition hall 2. The permanent exhibition hall 1 is a place where you can cultivate various ideas about the global environment.

The core exhibit in Hall 1 is the SOS (Science On a Sphere) system. This large 2m diameter ball floating in the air is a system for observing global environmental changes. What is El Nino and what is La Nina? Where did the many east coast squid go? Will more snow fall in winter if global warming continues? How can we save the planet from warming? These questions are solved by standing in front of this big ball. If you are watching vivid images of typhoons' travel paths, world volcanic activity, and the Earth's night and day, you fall into the illusion of observing the Earth from space.

The most popular exhibition in Hall 1 is the public unicycle. The curiosity as to why I would fall after the circulating air rail with a unicycle is springing up. The answer is center of gravity! You can experience the meaning of the center of gravity through a large additional air bike. There is also a corner explaining the secrets of how an airplane can fly without losing its center.

‘What did you feel?’ Is a place where students' curiosity is most triggered. Nothing can be seen through the black double curtain. The sound of water may be heard, the cool air may rub, and the smell of baking may be heard when you carefully watch with your hands. In addition to what we see, we realize how important sensory organs such as hearing, smell and touch are.

When you go out there, the exhibitions explaining the optical illusion and the exhibitions that help you realize how important scientific thinking is are connected, and the 'I'm Scientist' section is connected. Marcel Duchamp's words are written in front of the toilet. “Think about what you are looking at. Think the most about the things you don't think most. ” After leaving the 1st building, the scientist's mind grows.

The second building was designed to examine the science and technology that are dissolved in our lives. As soon as you enter Hall 2, a large cylindrical life coaster catches your eye so that the exhibition hall fills up. The life coaster, which boasts the largest size as an experiential exhibit in Korea, is an experience corner where you can think about energy.

Fossil energy is 84% of the energy we use, such as gas for cooking food, electricity for operating computers, and gasoline for moving cars. What should we do to save fossil energy that cannot be used in the next 100 years?

It uses green energy such as wind power, solar power, and hydrogen power and teaches the importance of energy by considering the problem of energy depletion and the need for alternative energy through a system designed to launch a rolling ball when energy is collected.

The most popular corner in Hall 2 is the robot show. This is a pleasant corner where you can see our robot technology, which is the third largest in the world, after Japan and Germany. Watching the robots dance excitingly to the latest music makes you feel proud and proud. The robot show is performed eight times a day.
