Have you heard about the Carnegie Science Center? Believe it or not, it is just one of the four Carnegie museums in the area, but it is the one that attracts the most attention of the scientific community.<\/p>\n

Carnegie Science Center (Pittsburgh, PA) has the most visits of all museums in the area. The exhibits are interactive and spread across a total of four floors. Here are some of the biggest attractions of the facility:<\/p>\n

The Institute of Popular Science and Buhl Planetarium are predecessors of the museum. At the time, it was among the largest planetariums in the country, but its popularity decreased as time passed. The local authorities approved relocation to the Chateau neighborhood in the 1980s and the Carnegie Institute proposed merging the two institutions. That happened in 1987 and, two years later, the construction of the Carnegie Science Center started. The facility was opened in 1991 and the planetarium was reinvented on the site.<\/p>\n
