Most art needs context or understanding of a subject before it can be fully experienced. Something children generally don’t have the base of knowledge to understand or appreciate. Though there is certainly art that is meant singularily with just the work itself sans anything else.
Needing that art history to appreciate it doesn’t work for kids most of the time.
Science helps children understand the world they are a part of. They need it in a way that art generally doesn’t.
This also changes depending on what science is on display but kids as already exposed to art in the form of media and the decor of the places they live.
Higher science or perhaps a better term might be more complicated science needs advanced education to be digested, and also much of science that is new to people would need to be read and understood in publication or it is behind restricted areas for safety and also IP reasons so not really something you can bring kids to to show them.
So it makes sense, it’s not too difficult to understand. But there also is room for taking the time and effort to create museums that DO allow those things that usually arent allowed.
Art in action IS a museum/gallery
Science in action will often get you killed without proper safety and that would add significant cost to projects that already have funding issues.
And then there’s things like CERN… You can get a tour!
