We’re here to turn on the science. Through education, in-person experiences, online learning, traveling exhibits, and community partnerships, the Science Museum of Minnesota is dedicated to collaborating with our community to create a world where everyone has the power to use science to make lives better. With the help of our visitors, volunteers, staff, and community partners, we’re using science to figure out how our world works. Between our interactive exhibits, collection with over two million objects, and continuous scientific research, we believe there’s always something new to discover.
