The construction and care lavished on the fittings of sculptured bronze and Italian travertine marble demonstrate that this building was not only intended to be a laboratory facility, but also a work of art. This heritage building will not only offer visitors a chance to explore the architecture, but also a series of special science and technology exhibits.
