Hands-on Museum

Hands-on Museum is a museum whose most presentations:
a) Explain technological and scientific facts,
and
b) Enable pressing a button, or operating a handle, or action(s) alike, and see what happens.

The first hands-on museum was the Exploratorium in San-Francisco, USA.
See papers by the founder (1972, 1973, 1974) in the American Journal of Physics, explaining the educational concept of a hands-on museum.

This internet site mentions two hands-on museums *:
I) The large Exploratorium Museum in San-Francisco, USA,
and
II) smaller Madatech Museum in Haifa, Israel.

References

Oppenheimer, Frank,
(Founder of Exploratorium first hands-on museum).
