Museum of Discovery Information

The Mission of the Museum of Discovery is to ignite a passion for science, technology and math in a dynamic, interactive environment. Currently in the final renovation stage, the Museum will re-open its doors to the public January 14, 2012 with new, state-of-the-art, interactive science and technology exhibits. The complete transformation will be a “must see” attraction for multiple audiences. The Museum of Discovery will have more floor space than ever and will be stocked with brand new exhibits in three dedicated galleries. New Galleries: o Earth Journeys allows visitors to explore the wondrous planet we live on through exhibits that focus on global earth processes made relevant by their connections to the natural landscapes of Arkansas. o Amazing You invites visitors to discover how the human body works and how choices for a healthy, active lifestyle keep their bodies running better. o Discovery Hall is the place for exploration of the physical sciences, and is filled with hands-on and whole-body interactives to engage visitors of all ages in their world. Funding is provided by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, a national philanthropic organization founded in 1954 by the late media entrepreneur for whom it is named.
