The first interactive, experiential science and technology museum in China – the NEOBIO Museum (Shanghai), located in Al PLAZA along the Xuhui West Bund, was officially opened to the public on 15th December.

Covering diverse fields such as natural science, avant-garde technology and aerospace exploration, NEOBIO Museum guides children to understand the boundless relationship between science, life and art through full sensory, interactive experiences, and uncover the infinite charm of science.

The museum has three floors, covering an area of 6000m², and is divided into five major exhibitions. In Power Hungry, the process of mankind understanding nature and transforming it into a source of energy is revealed; In Miracle Labs, audiences witness the birth, development and aging of life, and understand the delicate works of human organs and cells; In Secret Studios, explorers conduct a well-versed symphony using art and technology; In Maker's Hall, every visitor becomes a natural innovator and experiences the joy of creation; And coming to Space Station, audiences travel in space to understand the mysteries left for future generations in the vast sea of stars.

Steering away from display style exhibition, the NEOBIO Museum integrates knowledge, art and hands-on experience, bringing to life a full sensory scientific experience, stimulating children's scientific interests and broadening their scientific horizons. Themed science activities and parent-child sessions are held as a part of the museum's program around the year, bringing to children and parents 21st century skills through experiments and hands-on experience.

The museum is equipped with NEOBIO's first-ever smart wristband location tracking system, so parents are free of any safety concerns while children explore the grounds. In terms of catering facilities, the museum offers a selection nutritious specialty menus, so that individuals and families who come to dine and visit can enjoy 360-degree, quality service.

Science is the foundation of academic research, education and the sustainable development of the world, and children and young people are an important source in the science and technology talent pool. NEOBIO is the first domestic interactive technology space that breaks the traditional top-down education funnel, allowing children to gain access to more than just watching at the museum, and encouraging them to think critically and seek knowledge through real experiences.

NEOBIO's innovative education system is a practice based on the consensus of what makes quality modern education, and is also an advanced layout for future talent development. The museum aims to play a key role in cultivating a new generation of talents with scientific ideals and helping to improve the scientific and technological literacy of young people.

NEOBIO is a innovative and revolutionary new brand, and the proud creator of the highly acclaimed NEOBIO Family Centre, and is now bringing to life the first-ever interactive science and technology museum in China.
