Discovery Times Square

DTS is one of the three exhibition centres located in Times Square. The other two being Madame Tussauds and Ripley’s Believe It or Not. The centre opened in 2009 and has 5 500 sq. meters of exhibition space. They host especially large, travelling exhibitions, that are too big, commercial or expensive to be profitable for local, smaller museums.

All of the exhibitions aim to be immersive and educational experiences. They try to connect visitors with great cultural stories. There are normally a lot of technical experiments and games included. Some examples of the last popular exhibitions are Leonardo Da Vinci’s Workshop, Titanic: The Artefact Exhibition, The Art of the Brick (amazing Lego constructions!) and the exhibition about Harry Potter books and films.
