Science History Institute
Join us on the First Friday of every month for an evening of fun activities, special talks and tours, and a chance to explore unique objects and stories from our museum and library collections.
Thrills, chills, and alchemical mysteries await you at this month’s First Friday!
See rare books from our special collections and explore the science behind mummies, witches, vampires, and much more.
Design your own tarot card using our digital collections, learn about the secret symbols of alchemy, play games, and go on a scavenger hunt. But only if you dare!
