Wiess Energy Hall at The Houston Museum of Natural Science
Wiess Energy Hall
NOW OPEN! Entering the new Wiess Energy Hall, visitors will step off of the elevator into a dynamic floor of a 21st century offshore drilling rig populated by a motley crew of sci-fi robots. Near the center of the cavernous new hall, a replica of a tricone rotary drill bit-fourteen feet in diameter-spins vigorously overhead. The Hall spans 30,000 square feet-almost the size of a football field. Joining the completely redesigned “classic” displays will be a bonanza of entirely new exhibits, making the new hall the most contemporary, comprehensive and technologically advanced exhibition on the science and technology of energy anywhere in the world.
