Stories of Science: Summertime Science

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!
Our fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Visit our handling table to take an up-close look at interesting items in our collection. This week at our handling table you can learn all about ramie, a celebrated summer fabric! 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.
