Tech Dome Penang
About This Museum
People don't come to Tech Dome Penang for quiet contemplation; they come to press buttons, pull levers, and experience the thrilling friction between scientific theory and physical reality. It’s a place of joyful noise, where the deep hum of a giant Tesla coil competes with the delighted shrieks of kids whizzing down the vertical slide. You're just as likely to find someone strapped into the gyroscope chair, spinning wildly, as you are to see a group puzzling over an optical illusion. This is science not as a distant subject, but as a playground for your curiosity.
Collection Highlights
The museum's heart is its massive Curved Roller Coaster, a kinetic sculpture you build yourself that demonstrates potential and kinetic energy. Don't miss the harrowing bicycle ride across a high wire or the chance to feel the raw power of electricity during a live lightning show at the Tesla Coil demonstration.
Visitor Information
You'll find it taking up two floors inside KOMTAR's iconic geodesic dome—it's hard to miss that giant silver ball in the middle of George Town. Wear comfortable shoes; this is a hands-on experience where you'll be climbing, sliding, and exploring.
Architecture & Building
Housed within KOMTAR's striking geodesic dome, the building itself is a landmark of modernist design—a giant latticework sphere that looks like a futuristic artifact landed in the heart of the city.
