  National Science Museum

 

Thailand

This odd building at Technopolis in Pathum Thani houses the National Science Museum. It consists of three large cubes balanced on their corners and that are interconnected to create a striking geometric form.

 

The exhibition begins with a section devoted to King Mongkhut (Rama IV), who is widely regarded as the Father of Thai Science (fig.) for his promotion of scientific learning and his well-known prediction of the solar eclipse of 1868.
