Questacon – The National Science and Technology Centre has been building and touring exhibitions for the Australian and world markets for over twenty years. Combined, our Exhibition Services staff have more than 300 people years of experience in developing creative, interactive exhibits.

Measure Island has been planned, designed, and constructed over the past two years at our base in Canberra, Australia. Its two-dozen exhibits are mix of large scale, wall, and "totspot" experiences, featuring a wide range of hands-on activities. To make touring easier, we've built it to be modular and highly portable - it can cater to a range of venues, from regional to metropolitan.
