A hidden gem! Fantastic for kids of all ages. Tells a story of scientific work using scientific instruments and other exhibits used by or donated to the university. Lots of explanations in multiple languages on small screens. Not big but it doesn't have to be considering everything inside. My favorite was the HPC computer rack used to model weather.
