After World War II, large museums were built against the backdrop of American industrial technology, such as the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, which focuses on large-scale experimental equipment, the National Museum of History and Technology in Washington, which shows the history of America through technological development, and the National Air and Space Museum, which symbolizes the space age. In addition, facilities aiming to be new science museums focusing on experiments, such as the Exploratorium in San Francisco, have been established one after another. In Asia, except for the natural history museums of the colonial era, there were no science and technology museums except in Japan before 1945, but in recent years, science museums have been established in India, Thailand, Singapore, and South Korea, and plans to establish them in China and the Philippines are underway. … *Some of the terminology that refers to the "Exploratorium" is listed below.
