Topography

A lot can be learned from the shape and character of the Earth’s surface! Join us as we learn to draw topographic maps through the concept of contouring, as well as the Earth’s rising sea levels.
 

Temporary exhibition - Earth in Focus

Featuring breathtaking photos taken from space, Earth in Focus offers visitors a truly remarkable perspective of our planet. Through visually striking videos and photos, this immersive exhibition demonstrates how data collected from space can help address global issues — such as feeding a growing population, keeping us safe from natural disasters, and protecting the environment.

An exhibition developed by the Canada Science and Technology Museum, in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency.

Transportation Discovery Centre

Launch a rocket, navigate a submarine, explore robotics and make things fly! Shipbuilding, railway and aviation have played a major role in the development of Moncton as a city and as a commercial center since the early 19th century. The Transportation Discovery Centre features an array of interactive exhibits and hands-on activities for all ages.
