Visit to Geological Museum and Tsukuba Science Square

Today as my supervisor is not in, I am free to visit the Geological Museum and Science Square Tsukuba after I finished doing my work. Both are located in AIST (in fact they are just next to one another)

In the Geological Museum, there are, well, a lot of rocks!! Here are some of the pictures from the Geological Museum.

Next, I went to Science Square Tsukuba. The Science Square is basically a showroom of “industrial technology” where research and research results of AIST are presented in an easy to understand manner. Below are some of the pictures I took during my visit.
