II. Theme: Fun Learning at Communications Museum
Communications Museum endeavors to encourage visitors to learn through playing. Our belief is: "Dare to experiment, Dare to discover".
This scientific museum is built on numerous experimental features that the team of professional facilitators actively guides and encourages visitors of different ages to discover science, learn postal and telecommunications technology and their applications. No matter whether it is thematic guided visit, science demonstration, workshop, competition, festive activity or out-reach event such as science camp and tailor-made program for schools, visitors have expressed their satisfaction of discovery and hands-on experience through their laughter and compliments.
