Scienceworks is one of Australia’s leading science museums located in Spotswood, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. It is one of three museums operated by Museums Victoria. Displays and activities offered by the museum include hands-on experiments, demonstrations, and tours.
Scienceworks is housed in a purpose-built building "styled along industrial lines" near the historic Spotswood Pumping Station, constructed in 1897, whose steam engines form an associated exhibit. The pumping station forms part of the museum complex. Being built on a site shared by the 125-year-old engineering marvel, Scienceworks links Melbourne’s industry, heritage, and applied technology
Scienceworks was built to accommodate 250,000 visitors but pre-pandemic was attracting 500,000 visitors annually.
