The Science Machina exhibition at Salisbury Garden depicts various incredible science machines and new technologies through comics.

The Hong Kong Science Museum and the Consulate General of France will jointly present the French Science Festival: [Brain]storm in November to showcase the remarkable achievements of France in neurosciences.

 

Running from tomorrow to November 22, the festival marks the 30th anniversaries of the Hong Kong Science Museum and the French Science Festival, with the Science Machina exhibition as its highlight.

 

The exhibition at the Salisbury Garden in Tsim Sha Tsui features a series of comics inspired by 12 scientific machines used or partly developed by the French Alternative Energies & Atomic Energy Commission or the French National Institute of Health & Medical Research.

 

During the three consecutive weekends of the exhibition, the I Will Sleep When I'm Dead virtual reality experience will be presented at the exhibition venue for visitors to dive into the brain and navigate by sight amongst neurons and synapses.

 

The festival also comprises the screening of a French romantic fantasy film Mood Indigo tomorrow and a children’s workshop on November 6 at the Hong Kong Science Museum.
