Melbourne's powerful new attraction

An electrifying exhibition switched on at Scienceworks in Melbourne this month.

The new Megawatt exhibition is a spectacular 20-minute light effects show.

In a separate part of the museum, there is an exhibition using the award-winning toy KNex, featuring models up to 2.5m high and 2m long.

The Melbourne Planetarium can also be found at Scienceworks, which is about 8km from the central city. There, you can sit in reclining chairs and lose yourself in the galaxies.

And the newly-built Melbourne Museum will also welcome you to its attractions, such as the Phar Lap exhibition, the Aboriginal Centre and the Forest Gallery - a living, breathing exhibition. There is also a children's museum, a Science and Life Gallery and the fascinating Mind and Body Gallery. More than 500,000 people have visited the museum since it opened in October last year.

Another one million people have visited the Melbourne Aquarium since its opening last year.

It features A Fish Called Honda, which is a car transformed into a fish tank, and the aquarium is also home to an abundance of stingrays, fiddler rays, black rays and eagle rays.
