I am not a big fan of Sci-fi movies or the big fuss they make about futuristic world. All of it feels so mechanical and lacking emotions. Trip to Science Museum? Doesn’t sound much interesting either. 

But visit to ArtScience Museum changed this perception completely, making me realize how magic is created when art and science are combined together.

Moment we entered the museum, it was like being transported to a magical world. Colorful, lively and interactive. It was a completely new experience for us, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact I would say it left us mesmerized. A perfect visual and sensory treat is created with impeccable blend of Science and art.
