The new development takes visitors on a journey from raw materials to finished products and highlights the heritage and science of manufacturing and materials in the region. The museum’s Science Garden will also be reopened after its winter hibernation, bringing themes of engineering, mechanics and transportation to life through three fun zones and 42 hands-on exhibits.
