Silicon Valley's Tech Museum is moving to a new site in San Jose, California at the end of this month.

The $96m hands-on museum and learning centre will specialise in interactivity such as a design-it-yourself virtual roller coaster and a jet-propelled floating chair. Four galleries will allow visitors to explore global communication technologies, innovation, life science, and the earth, sea and space.

The new 132,000 square foot museum will replace 'The Garage' - the Tech's premises for the last seven years.

More than 650,000 people are expected to visit the new site each year. The Tech opens on 31 October.
