A New Form of Science Museum

Shizuoka Science Museum Rukuru aims to grow the children's interest towards science through participation and experience, not through complicated studies. Only a year after Rukuru opened, more than 300,000 visitors had come, which was twice as much as the estimate. Rukuru became extraordinarily popular even though it is a rural science museum, and still has many repeaters until now.
