Amazing place, I was here for the Forever exhibition that has just finished up a month or so ago. I had such a great time. There was so much to see that was very well presented The place was very clean and easy to navigate with a guide containing a map provided at entry.

Wow the Forever exhibition is truly something amazing Great fun playing and learning, and such a cool concept to get us thinking about some really deep questions about life, death, time and mortality Go in with a child’s wonder and you can easily spend 2 hours engaging with all the activities Thank you to the wonderful guide Prianca and team. Will definitely be excited to see what comes up next...

It's my first time visiting MOD. What a great way to educate and entertain at the same time. There're lots and lots of media used to explain how our earth changes and what's the implications of it. With a visit wrap by story step by step, we are introduced to every piece of meaningful arts, color plates, lights art and so many messages around the corner. Everything is set beautifully and meaningfu...

This is a great space on a cold day. It was cosy and warm. Lovely staff. Lots of interactive exhibitions full of interesting facts, things to learn and creative displays that will expand your mind and grow your imagination. Kat Bell's exhibition was a highlight with an interactive digital media installation that you could control whilst lounging on comfy pillows.
Eric Lau
A truly meaningful place to reflect on our planet, humanity, and ourselves. The experience is both thought-provoking and futuristic, making it a unique stop if you're nearby. Entry is free, the staff are friendly, and the exhibits are well presented. I spent around 1.5 hours here and left feeling inspired. Highly recommend a visit!
