Saga Prefectural Space Science Museum "Yumeginga" operated by NOMURA as the designated manager representative Space Discovery Zone will be completely renewed on Saturday, March 23, 2024
NOMURA is entrusted with the operation and management of cultural facilities such as museums and science museums, including research and education, in order to develop local communities.
The Saga Prefectural Space Science Museum "Yumeginga", which our company operates as the designated manager representative, will be reborn on Saturday, March 23, 2024. Yumeginga was established in July 1999 as a communication facility that connects people and science. The museum has four displays: Earth Discovery Zone, Saga Discovery Zone, Space Discovery Zone, Planetarium, and Observatory, and is popular as the only comprehensive science museum in the prefecture.
25 years have passed since the museum opened, and in order to displays new research results in astronomy that are progressing day by day, as well as the future of space and astronomy, incorporating new displays technology, presentation, and experience equipment, we have opened the Space Discovery Zone on the third floor. ' will be renewed.
The renewal concept is ``A far journey into space - a grand drama between space and humanity.''
This is an displays zone where you can experience, play, and learn about space.
[Space Time Adventure] In a large circular theater, you can experience everything from the beginning of the universe to the first star, galaxies, and even the birth of life on an impressive large screen.

[Gravity Jump] In addition to the moon (1/6G) that existed before the renewal, you can also experience the difference in gravity between Mars (1/3G) and Pluto (1/16G) by jumping! The images spread out in front of your eyes and the images on the floor work together with the jumping equipment, creating an immersive experience. You can feel like you are on a space flight.
