Stories of Science: Cozy Chemistry
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 December we’re cuddling up to comfy-cozy chemistry innovations!
Our interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Take an up-close look at interesting items in our handling collection. At our handling table this week, we are continuing cozy science by weaving together stories of textile technologies.
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.
During your visit, you can also check out our 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.
PLEASE NOTE: Our museum will be temporarily closed December 22, 2024, through March 7, 2025, for renovations.
