Join us in our museum EVERY SATURDAY for a family-friendly program that highlights the many strange and surprising stories from the history of science.
Each month we explore a different theme and in October, we’re getting spooky with some scientific mysteries! This week, join our drop-in highlights tour at 11:30am as we delve into the history of forensic science. At 2pm, our Science & Activism Tour will explore the vital impacts made by engaged communities on scientific discovery, environmental justice, and public health.
Our fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Take an up-close look at interesting items in our handling collection. Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind everyday items like ice cube trays and LED light bulbs. Chat with our experienced Gallery Guides to find out more about the people responsible for the science embedded in our daily lives.
Stories of Science takes place weekly on Saturdays. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
