The Museum staff incorporated 3-D digital animations, state of the art audio systems, interactive games, and a hi-tech A-V Hall (audio-visual),for movie projection. The overriding theme, which is repeated throughout the Museum, is Science, Nature and Conservation. The investment in The Future Pavilion, by EPM, was 2,630 million Pesos, or about $1,127.100. U.S.
