Coal mine was the Museum's first ever show, and since then, visitors love it. You'll enjoy this tour by learning about mining equipment and procedures used throughout the years as well as the descent into a "functioning" coal mine. When you see and hear the actual, functioning machinery that was formerly employed in operating mines, nothing better illustrates the labor-intensive nature of mining. As you observe the mechanical prowess and engineering creativity that goes into harvesting coal, you will gain a fresh perspective on energy. You might discover a brand-new perspective on light switches.

A German submarine was hunting for American and Allied ships on June 4, 1944, off the coast of West Africa. This submarine, known as U-505, was a member of a U-boat fleet that terrorized the Atlantic. However, the U-505 was captured by Germany.

Transport back in time on the train that revolutionized travel and design. A shiny new train bearing the name of a Greek wind god started a nonstop "Dawn to Dusk" speed run from Denver to Chicago on May 26, 1934. In less than 13 hours, the Zephyr completed the journey, setting a new standard for luxury and train travel. Its elegant Art Deco design will soon be reflected in commonplace goods like toasters and vehicles.

Science Storms will help you rediscover natural sciences and related phenomena. Seven natural phenomena—lightning, fire, tornadoes, avalanches, tsunamis, sunlight, and moving atoms—are all brought together under one roof as part of this permanent exhibit. You can view them all here and even try your hand at some of them. You will undoubtedly learn the fundamentals of physics and chemistry, and you can view some spine-chilling experiences such as a 40-foot tornado, witnessing a 1.5 million volts strike, or causing a tsunami to notice.

More than 25 years have passed since the 727 touched down at MSI. It transpires that was just the start.
