\"Glasgow<\/a>

Glasgow Science Centre in Scotland<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Created with a vision to provide a promising future for Scotland, the Glasgow Science Centre<\/em> offers challenging and stimulating experiences to the visitors. The buildings of the museum are made from nouveau materials such as titanium and aluminium. The one-of-a-kind museum is Scotland’s flagship millennium project. It is one of the frequently visited destinations in Scotland. Once you step inside the museum, you will feel like staying there for hours, as it has something or the other for all age groups.<\/p>\n

Parts of\u00a0Glasgow Science Centre<\/span><\/h2>\n

IMAX Theater and Planetarium<\/strong>
\nThe museum houses the country\u2019s first IMAX theater. The egg-shaped titanium-covered theater has an enigmatic appeal. The theater runs educational films ranging from 40 to 45 minutes of time duration. Gazing at the 9,000 twinkling stars at the planetarium makes you sit awestruck. The first-time spectators sit goggle-eyed in astonishment. An expression of wonder and excitement is observed in the responses of the visitors, “c’est incroyable”, “das ist erstaunlich”, “isso \u00e9 incr\u00edvel”, etc., which mean “that’s amazing”.<\/p>\n

Science Mall<\/strong>
\nThe mall featuring floor-to-ceiling windows offers bounteous material for the inquisitive minds of the children. The interesting exhibits are placed on all three floors of the mall. You would really need to push yourself to move to see the next exhibit. Each of the exhibits at the mall has a magnetizing effect.<\/p>\n

Glasgow Tower<\/strong>
\nThe 127-meter-tall Glasgow Tower is the country’s tallest freestanding structure, and is world’s only fully revolving building. The tower was a concept of Richard Horden Associates. The rotation of the tower depends upon the wind. The tower is closed during the winters. In the summers, when it opens, the tower offers bird’s-eye views of the city.<\/p>\n

Virtual Science Theater<\/strong>
\nIt takes the visitors on a 3-D molecular journey.<\/p>\n
