A short history about the TELUS World of Science

The TELUS World of Science was born under a different name. In 1978, some Edmontonians established the Edmonton Space Sciences Foundation. This was the foundation that assigned the design of the unique structures of the science museum. In 1980, the city of Edmonton formally named its new project as the Edmonton Space Sciences Centre. Two years later, the construction at Coronation Park began. After another two years, the science museum was finally opened to the public. It had later underwent some name changes until it became TELUS World of Science in 1995.
