A hands-on science museum in Worli, opened in 1985 under the Ministry of Culture's National Council of Science Museums, features interactive exhibits on physics, biology, technology and space science aimed primarily at students and families. Its outdoor Science Park showcases large mechanical and optical installations demonstrating scientific principles. The centre regularly hosts workshops, planetarium shows and travelling exhibitions. It remains one of Mumbai's most visited destinations for school field trips.
Did you know? Nehru Science Centre is India's largest interactive science museum, built specifically to make science hands-on rather than something viewed behind glass, a philosophy that was still unusual for Indian museums when it opened in 1985.
