Facts and practical information

The Science & Technology Museum of Atlanta, usually known as SciTrek, was located at 395 Piedmont Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia, next to the Atlanta Civic Center. It was forced to close in August 2004 due to reduced federal and state funding. All of its displays were sold or auctioned on January 15, 2005. Some of the assets, such as the Challenger Learning Center, were transferred to Fernbank Science Center, also in Atlanta. ()
