This new space of 500m², adapted from the Cité des enfants (Paris La Villette), is the result of a rich cooperation between Hong Kong Science Museum and Universcience. It is closely followed since the first exhibition presented in this museum was "Electricité" in 1999; then in 2004 the exhibition "Le Cheveu se décode" was presented and the Palais de la Découverte hosted an exhibition produced by the Hong Kong Science Museum: Flowers in the Mirror.
