"NMNS iExploration" is an innovative digital exploration and self-learning service, meticulously developed by the National Museum of Natural Science for visitors of all ages. This initiative seeks to ignite an insatiable curiosity and enthusiasm for science among museum visitors. Visitors can embark on their museum adventure simply by scanning a QR code—no app installation required—making exhibitions and learning resources accessible to everyone, regardless of age or technological familiarity.



The service offers a diverse range of exploration tasks by seamlessly blending virtual and physical resources. Through engaging story scenarios, it immerses visitors in a seamless blend of narrative and exhibition. Interactive elements such as exhibit guidance, artifact observation, knowledge challenges, extended learning, and points-based rewards are also incorporated. This innovative combination creates a novel virtual-physical blended gamified exploration experience. Participants not only gain profound insights into the stories behind the exhibits but also enjoy learning, transforming a museum visit into an engaging and enriching adventure.



The platform’s flexible theme expansion capabilities ensure that exploration topics are continually created to address diverse visitor needs. We are dedicated to developing an open and shared platform in collaboration with museums and schools, striving to establish a learner-centered lifelong learning ecosystem.



"NMNS iExploration" redefines the museum visiting experience by blending innovation, exploration, puzzle-solving, and learning. It fulfills every visitor's curiosity about science and enhances their knowledge through immersive and interactive exploration.
