Three new permanent exhibition galleries at Hong Kong Science Museum to open tomorrow (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Science Museum (HKScM) will launch three new permanent exhibition galleries, namely Living Tech Gallery, InnoTech Gallery, and AI Gallery, from tomorrow (February 6). The three new galleries introduce how technology shapes daily life, the five pivotal technologies driving modern innovation, and the principles and applications of AI respectively.
 
     The Living Tech Gallery centres around three major aspects in daily life, including "transport", "living", and "food". It features about 20 sets of interactive exhibits introducing how technology drives more convenient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable ways of living. Highlighted exhibits include the first collection item of the HKScM, the DC-3 airplane "Betsy", donated by Cathay Pacific Airways, showcasing the evolution of flight technologies. Visitors can also experience autonomous driving, which operates without driver intervention through advanced sensors. New technologies applied by the MTR Corporation to ensure passengers enjoy safer and smoother journeys every day are displayed with interactive exhibits, such as "Train Car Loading Indicator" and "Smart Passenger Instrumented Revenue Train". In addition, technologies such as eco-conscious architecture and renewable energy systems make modern homes more aligned with the principles of sustainable development. The exhibition also showcases the emission-free cooling technology developed by a research team at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, as well as various types of innovative bio-based materials, such as mango leather, rice husk laminate, and sewage sludge panel. Exhibits designed together with the University of Hong Kong focus on future staple foods such as seaweed, genetically modified plants, and cultured meat, allowing visitors to rethink the future possibilities of diets.
    
     The InnoTech Gallery introduces five pivotal technologies that are shaping the future of science, including quantum technology, materials technology, biotechnology, computers and AI, and robotics. Through the latest technological examples and accessible scientific backgrounds, it explains the science principles behind these technologies, ranging from quantum computing to advanced DNA editing. The exhibition also reveals the fundamental science and applications behind these groundbreaking technologies and explores their potential to reshape the future. Highlighted exhibits include a quantum computer model with interactive games explaining its basic principles, the "Text to binary" station showing how text is converted into digital signals and back, and the "Water droplet run", which showcases how hydrophobic properties are applied in daily life. Part of the exhibition content is related to the Hong Kong senior secondary curricula in physics, biology, information and communication technology, and design and applied technology.
 
     The AI Gallery introduces visitors to the basic principles of AI, highlighting its integration with creative arts and Chinese culture, as well as its applications in healthcare and life sciences. Selected exhibits from the "Era of Intelligence" exhibition, part of the "Glorious Voyage: Splendid Achievements of the People's Republic of China in Its 75 Years" Exhibition Series held in 2024, which were very well received by visitors, were enhanced and integrated with new displays in the gallery. More than 90 per cent of the exhibits are interactive, offering a fun and exploratory experience for visitors, such as AI-powered painting, music composition, chess playing, and paper-scissors-stone.
