Our hall is mainly divided into the Moon Quest Hall, the Energy Hall, two Optical Halls, the Magnetic World, and the Materials Hall.
The main function of our modern science and technology museum, first of all, it displays a scientific and technological achievement of various research institutes on our science island, and then we show it to ordinary people and the public through the science and technology museum, and make a popular science to let them understand scientific knowledge. .
[Explanation] Hefei Modern Science and Technology Museum is located at the southeast end of Science Island in Hefei, Anhui Province. It is a permanent institution and window unit for Hefei to carry out popular science work.
On December 18, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Central Propaganda Department, and the China Association for Science and Technology issued the "Decision on Recognizing Advanced Collectives and Advanced Workers in National Science Popularization Work" to commend units and individuals that have made outstanding contributions to popular science work since 2016 , Hefei Modern Science and Technology Museum won the title of "National Science Popularization Work Advanced Group".

We are a scientific research base and a national patriotism education base. I also have this responsibility and obligation to do it. Therefore, the residents and employees of the whole island are willing to invest in this (science popularization) work.
[Explanation] After years of development, the science popularization work of Hefei Research Institute has been transformed from the spontaneous science popularization activities organized by the institute in the early 1990s to a more professional science popularization work mechanism.
Especially in the daily operation process, Hefei Modern Science and Technology Museum has established a unique operating mechanism.
Relying on the strong scientific research talents of Hefei Research Institute, they established a volunteer team of more than 100 people to support the daily opening of the Science and Technology Museum and various activities.

We have a lot of popular science volunteers in each place. These lecturers are our doctoral and master students, as well as our researchers and associate researchers. As long as they have the time and energy, we only need them. , Give them a call and they will come to our pavilion to explain to us.
[Commentary] It is understood that the Hefei Modern Science and Technology Museum has received more than 350,000 people from the public since its opening. In addition to exhibition and teaching services in the exhibition hall, it also actively holds popular science essays, popular science explanation contests, popular science experiments into campuses and communities, etc. Activities, and established "Scientists face to face with you", "Youth Science Lectures" and other public welfare science brands, so that scientific knowledge is no longer inaccessible.
