The California Science Center (sometimes spelled California ScienCenter) is a state agency and museum located in Exposition Park, Los Angeles. Billed as the West Coast's largest hands-on science center, the California Science Center is a public-private partnership between the State of California and the California Science Center Foundation. The museum is also an affiliate in the Smithsonian Affiliations program. Formerly known as the ''California Museum of Science and Industry'', the Museum was remodeled in 1998 as the California Science Center. Currently it consists of the IMAX Theater, the Sketch Foundation Gallery - Air and Space Exhibits (formerly Aerospace Hall), designed by Frank Gehry, and the Science Center itself - including the March 2010 opening of the Ecosystems exhibition wing. The California Science Center hosts the California State Science Fair annually. In late 2012, the center received the Space Shuttle ''Endeavour''.〔 〕 General admission is free although there is a charge for rides including the high-wire bicycle, motion simulator and the IMAX Theater. Reservations are required to see Endeavour during peak periods.〔http://www.californiasciencecenter.org/GenInfo/PlanningYourVisit/Hours/Hours.php Retrieved January 5, 2014.〕 The museum hosted 2 million visitors in 2012 on the basis of the Endeavour exhibit.〔http://www.aecom.com/deployedfiles/Internet/Capabilities/Economics/_documents/2012%20Theme%20Index%20Combined_1-1_online.pdf Retrieved January 5, 2014.〕 The Science Center is open to the public seven days a week, 362 days per year. ==Partial list of vehicles on display as of April 2015== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「California Science Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
