The Kamioka Observatory in Japan is perhaps one of the most stunning pieces of architecture designed for scientific research. Located 1,000 meters underground, a cylindrical tube houses 50,000 tons of ultra-purified water. The walls are completely sheathed in photomultiplier tubes able to detect neutrinos, proton decay and cosmic rays.
Not open to the public but I can only imagine. Seen it at New Launches. More pictures after the jump.


Looks great. Imagine the parties you could have in there :)
I'm Thinking 360˚ video wall!
