"Floating Science Fiction Museum!"
by Judy Joy Jones

The Chengdu Science Fiction Floating Museum was commissioned to host this year’s 81st annual 'WorldCon' Sci Fi Convention
and is located in the capital of Sichuan province in Southwest China.

Paulo Flores, one of the project directors at Zaha Hadid Architects, which designed the museum says;

“Science fiction has always been a very important source of inspiration for our design, as it looks forward at what technology is currently and what it could evolve into".

Chengdu is part of the nation’s multi-billion dollar “science fiction industry” which includes publishing and film releases, with Chengdu at the center. It's also the birthplace of Science Fiction World, one of the most-read sci-fi magazines, founded in 1979.

Looking forward to touring the Floating Science Fiction Museum!
