Stories of Science: 2025 Wrapped
Join us in our museum EVERY SATURDAY for a family-friendly program that highlights the many surprising and spellbinding stories from the history of science.
For the month of December, we are wrapping up 2025 by taking a look back at our favorite chemistry topics and artifacts!
Saturday’s fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Visit our activity table this week to learn about our favorite science tool: microscopes! Take a closer look (pun intended!) at the history of microscopes and discover how they work. Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind everyday items like refrigerators 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.
During your visit, you can also check out our other themed “drop-in” tours at 11:30am and 2pm.
Stories of Science takes place weekly on Saturdays. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
