Science Gallery - One of Dublins Top Ten Attractions

Despite being open only since February 2009 the Science Gallery on Pearse Street has already made it to the list of the Top 10 attractions in Dublin.  According to a Failte Ireland report the museum has had as many visitors as Farmleigh House or the Jameson Distillery. 
While most museums are dusty places with old objects and stuffed animals, the Science Gallery looks to the future for inspiration for the vastly different exhibitions they host on their state of the art premises.Since opening they have had exhibitions on many diverse subjects ranging from polpular science to the downright creepy. Some tasters on their past exhibitions:

• Light - our ability to control it and it's ability to control us.
• Robots - the worlds most talented robots and their makers
• Bubbles - the physics of foam
• Love Lab - what makes us fall in love, does romance exist or is it all in our genes already?

Currently the Science Gallery is running an exhibit on music - Music is a central part of the human experience, but what is the natural force that drives us to sing, strum, drum and dance? What is the scientific basis of whistling, humming and toe-tapping?

If you're in Dublin it's definitely worth a visit - and to make it even better - on most of their exhibitions entrance is free!!

The Trinity Capital Hotel is only a 5 minute walk from the Science Gallery.
