The Taizhou Science Museum is located in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, and is a large prefecture level science popularization venue in the central Jiangsu region. It officially opened to the public in 2021, with a total construction area of 18000 square meters and a permanent exhibition hall area of 8600 square meters. It is equipped with a 4D science popularization cinema, a lecture hall, and a maker workshop. Complete the update and iteration of the artificial intelligence exhibition area by 2023; Renovate the Children's Science Playground by 2025 and upgrade the entire electromechanical exhibits control system. The venue implements a free online reservation visit mode, open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday, and closed for maintenance on Monday and Tuesday. It radiates to surrounding cities in central Jiangsu and is a landmark of science popularization, culture and tourism in central Jiangsu.
The venue is divided into six permanent exhibition areas: Science Exploration Hall, Universe and Ocean Hall, Life and Health Hall, Technology Innovation Hall, Children's Science Playground, and Taizhou Science and Technology History Exhibition Hall. The Science Exploration Hall gathers a large number of interactive exhibitions in mechanics, acoustics, optics, and electromagnetics for visitors to experience basic scientific phenomena firsthand; The Space and Ocean Department takes into account the themes of astronomy, aerospace, and marine science, and sets up multiple immersive interactive experience devices; The Department of Life and Health conducts science popularization around human physiology and biomedicine; The Technology Innovation Department focuses on cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and intelligent manufacturing; The children's science playground is divided into experience zones according to age groups, adapted to different cognitive levels of children; The Taizhou Science and Technology History Exhibition Hall is a local characteristic exhibition area, which sorts out the achievements of ancient science and technology in Taizhou and the scientific and technological innovations of local industries such as modern medicine and shipbuilding. The 4D cinema plays science popularization films in a loop, and the maker workshop can conduct hands-on practical courses in science and technology innovation.
Relying on the local pharmaceutical industry resources in Taizhou, the venue collaborates deeply with local high-tech enterprises to transform industrial resources into popular science content. The research-based curriculum covers the entire school stage from kindergarten to junior high school, and a large number of primary and secondary schools in the central Jiangsu region come here to carry out off campus practice. The museum regularly conducts scientific experimental dramas, popular science lectures, and youth science and technology innovation competitions, and holds multiple science and technology research camps during winter and summer vacations. As the core base of science popularization in central Jiangsu, we export exhibition resources to surrounding cities and exchange experience in venue operation and exhibition maintenance.
The venue has a large passenger flow, and the high-frequency use of exhibitions leads to fast wear and tear. Adequate maintenance channels have been reserved in the early design of the exhibition hall. The dedicated operation and maintenance technical team strictly implements the daily inspection and quarterly deep maintenance system, periodically replacing damaged components such as motors, sensors, controllers, etc., to ensure the stable operation of a large number of electromechanical interactive exhibitions. The Taizhou Science Museum fills the gap in large-scale science popularization venues in central Jiangsu and helps cultivate the scientific and technological innovation abilities of young people in the region.
Shanghai Inertia Automation Co., Ltd. participated in the production of some interactive exhibitions and customization of core components at this venue.
