Discovery Museum is a provincial science- and industry-based museum in Kerkrade, Netherlands, that explores the connections between people, industry, science, technology, and society. The center combines elements of a science museum and an industrial heritage museum, aiming to show how scientific and technological developments influence everyday life and the environment. The museum opened in 1998 as Industrion, with an emphasis on the industrial history of the region, especially glass and ceramic manufacture, coal mining and its effects on society. It had taken over the collections of the previous local mining museum. It also had a particular focus on one glass manufacturer, Kristalunie in Maastricht. Its history has been described in the context of "technical museums". More information...
