The Hong Kong Science Museum is set to open three new permanent galleries  — Living Tech Gallery, InnoTech Gallery, and AI Gallery — to the public on Friday.

During a preview on Thursday, attendees were given a firsthand look at how technology blends with daily life, with over 90 percent of the displays designed to be interactive.

Visitors are encouraged to engage directly with the exhibits, offering hands-on experiences aiming to inspire the public about the role of technology, especially in artificial intelligence.
