The Canada Science and Technology Museum is located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on St. Laurent Boulevard, to the south of the Queensway (Highway 417).  The museum was established in 1967 and was the first museum to employ interactive exhibits. 

One of the main purposes of the Canada Science and Technology Museum is to help the public to understand the Transformation of Canada and the ongoing relationships between science, technology and Canadian society.

The Museum fulfills its mission through its collection, permanent, temporary and traveling exhibits, special events, school programs, and workshops. A visit to the museum will allow visitors to experience first-hand, as you discover artifact-rich exhibits featuring marine and land transportation, astronomy, communications, space, domestic technology and computer technology.

A great hands-on experience for visitors of all ages! Discover some of the most important scientific and technological objects in Canada. Climb aboard real locomotives, try your hand at fascinating experiments, and see for yourself how science and technology affect our everyday lives.

The largest of its kind in Canada, this Museum fulfills its mission through its collection, permanent, temporary and travelling exhibits, special events, school programs, workshops and demonstrations, publications, loans, conferences and lectures, expert advice, and joint action with other museums and organizations with similar goals and interests.
