The museum has four displays: the Earth Discovery Zone, the Saga Discovery Zone, the Space Discovery Zone, a planetarium, and an observatory, and is popular as the only comprehensive science museum in the prefecture.
Twenty-five years have passed since the museum opened, and in order to create displays that looks to the future of the field of space and astronomy, incorporating the latest research findings in astronomy, which is advancing day by day, as well as new displays technologies, presentations, and interactive devices, we will be renovating the "Space Discovery Zone" on the 3rd floor.
