About The Mind Museum

The Mind Museum is a science museum in Taguig, Metro Manila, on a 1.2-hectare lot in J. Y. Campos Park in Bonifacio Global City, a business district of the city. It opened on 16 March 2012 and was developed by the Bonifacio Art Foundation. The building, designed by architect Ed Calma of Lor Calma & Partners, takes its inspiration from cellular structure and growth, with a solar-reflective exterior, natural wind ventilation and rainwater drainage. Filipino designers, scientists and fabricators, including faculty from the University of the Philippines and the University of Santo Tomas, created 90 percent of the exhibits. In 2014 the museum won a THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement, the first for a Philippine establishment.

What's inside

The museum holds more than 250 exhibits. As of 2012 it had five main galleries in a 4,900-square-metre exhibit area spread over two floors. Each gallery has its own theme: atom, life, earth, universe and technology, linked by features called Nature's Webways. The atom, life, earth and universe galleries are on the ground floor, while the technology gallery is on the upper floor. The exhibits' design and execution earned the museum a THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement in the science museum category in 2014, the first for a science museum in Asia.
