The Five Galleries of The Mind Museum
The Mind Museum's exhibition takes off from a narrative that presents science in over 250 interactive exhibits through five interconnected stories. The galleries span nature in scale, from the smallest of things to the largest, and everything in between.
Here are must-see galleries inside The Mind Museum:
Atom Gallery: The Strange World of the Very Small
 |
| Atom Gallery |
The Atom Gallery is the gallery with the most number of interactive exhibits. It contains the very elemental forces that are so familiar that we take them for granted like gravity and electromagnetism. It also presents the counter-intuitive quantum world that resembles nothing in everyday experience, yet serves as the basis for much of the technology of today.
Life Gallery: The Exuberant Varieties of Life
 |
| Life Gallery |
The Life Gallery showcases the exuberance of a living planet in all its forms. It features the various habitats and the astonishing number and variety of organisms that thrive on our planet.
Earth Gallery: Nature Across the Breadth of Time
 |
| Earth Gallery |
The Earth Gallery features the first permanent T. rex exhibit in the country along with other unique exhibits that focus on the forces at work in shaping and reshaping the Earth.
Universe Gallery: The Beginning and Majesty of the Cosmos
 |
| Universe Gallery |
The Universe Gallery showcases humankind’s wondrous fascination with outer space. It features exhibits that show how all of life, as we know it, found its atomic beginnings in the stars. It enfolds visitors in the fundamental elements at play in the cosmos.
Technology Gallery: The Showcase of Human Ingenuity
 |
| Technology Gallery |
The Technology Gallery is the largest of all the galleries. It is the only exhibition space on the second level, overlooking the other four galleries. This gallery presents technology not as a mere tool, gadget or industrial advancement but as means to flesh out human values and to help us become better humans.
The gallery is divided into five major themes with each theme occupying a Node. The themes of the Nodes are: How We Live, Who We Are, How We Know, How Things Work, and Here to There.
Our Personal Experience
Last weekend, we brought our daughter to celebrate her 6th birthday to The Mind Museum. We were glad to learn about their Birthday Promo and availed it for her.
Watch our vlog here:
I've been wanting to visit the museum since it was opened in 2012. But it took me 11 years just to get to experience The Mind Museum (finally! hahaha).
Tours inside The Mind Museum takes up to 3 hours according to their website. So it's always better to plan ahead your schedule. For us, we took advantage of their All-Day Pass for only P550 which we booked from Klook.
We purchased two tickets so that we can avail the birthday promo for Gabby.
Upon our arrival, we went straight in to the entrance lobby where we were asked to show our booking confirmation via email and Gabby's school ID to confirm her birth date. We brought with us our baby in a stroller who was free to enter the museum, too.
We didn't know where to go first. We stepped in to our first gallery which is the Atom Gallery. From here, we had fun playing with the lights and our shadows.

In this area, we found their famous static ball and I got to try it myself! :)

From here, we went in to Life to Atom Corridor: Inner Space Track. Here, we learned about Cell Story and Cave of Tiny Secrets.

Next area we explored was the Life Gallery. From here we found their huge model of Whale Shark and other animals.

There's also parts of human brain, evolution of mammals, cells and more interactive installations.
At the end of the gallery is a tall giraffe which is standing next to the escalator going to Technology Gallery.
From here, we entered another gallery, the Universe Gallery. Gabby already noticed the model of an astronaut from afar. The whole area was dark and covered by star-like lights on the ceiling, making it to look like a galaxy.

We went straight to the phase of the moon where it shows different shades of light and shadow on the moon.

There's also a model of Mars rover.

We also wanted to watch the celestial show at Space Shell. However, the next scheduled time is already late for us.

After a short stroll, Gabby and I went upstairs to Universe to Atom Corridor: the Lightbridge.
 |
| Light Spectrum |
Here, we got to see Visible Light Spectrum and the cool Piano Stairs.

Then, while taking a rest, Gabby sat down for a live science demo back to the Atom Gallery.
Now it's time to go to Technology Gallery which is located at the 2nd level. We took the elevator instead of the escalator.
From here, we learned about Who We Are, How We Live, How We Know and How Things Work.
Back to 1st level, we ended our tour at Earth Gallery where their majestic T-rex skeleton is installed. Of course, we did not skip to get a nice photo of it for Gabby.

Also in this area, we learned about the timeline of Earth, rocks, volcanoes, oceans and more.
That sums up our tour at The Mind Museum! We ended our tour before 6pm, just perfect time for dinner.
We took a stroll to look for a nice restaurant at Bonifacio High Street. If you have more time or want to stay a little longer, you may also opt to have a coffee from one of the cafes in BGC.
