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. This week, we are hitting the pool! Join us at our handling collection table to learn about the history and science of bathing suits. Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind everyday items like refrigerators and plastic bottles. 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.
