Visitors are also required to answer the Health Declaration Form before entering the museum. Face masks and face shields must be worn at all times, and social distancing should be observed inside the museum premises. 

Planetarium shows are temporarily unavailable but visitors can still enjoy the different galleries inside the Planetarium Exhibition Hall.
