The Mind Museum
Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines' The Mind Museum is a science museum. It is situated on a 1.2-hectare (3.0-acre) property in J. Y. Campos Park in Bonifacio Global City, the city's economic area. The museum officially opened on March 16, 2012, however, a pre-launch celebration was held on December 15, 2011, during which Vice President Jejomar Binay made a speech on behalf of President Benigno Aquino III. The Bonifacio Art Foundation Inc. created the facility (BAFI).
As of 2012, the museum has five major galleries spread across two levels and encompassing a 4,900-square-meter (53,000-square-foot) exhibit area. The galleries each had their own topics, such as atom, life, earth, cosmos, and technology, and were linked by features known as "Nature's Webways". The atom, life, earth, and cosmos galleries are on the ground floor of the two-story museum, while the technology gallery is on the first floor.
Filipino designers, scientists, and fabricators developed 90 percent of the museum's displays with support from a team located in the United States that did the museum's master plan. This includes designers and academics from the University of the Philippines' College of Fine Arts and the University of Santo Tomas.
