- IshKebab 1y agoProbably a combination of factors: * Fewer adults interested in science than children. Children are learning new things. Magnets! Pulleys! Not many adults (outside HN) are going to get excited about a pulley. * The people making the museums don't have sufficient scientific knowledge to do science for grown ups. * Exhibits for children are much easier to make robust, and probably cheaper to make. That said I do think it would be really cool if there was a science museum for adults. There's all sorts of things you could show.
