Morphology
The meaning 'a museum where scientific objects are displayed' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'science' (study of natural phenomena) with 'museum' (an institution that displays items). This productive noun-noun compounding is cross-linguistically common and follows predictable composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Science museum gives a simple picture: a museum that shows science objects, models, and hands-on experiments. That's why it means 'a place to learn about science' where people can see displays and try activities.
