About us
One of the world's largest science centers and New England’s most attended cultural institution, the Museum of Science, Boston introduces 1.5 million visitors a year to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) via dynamic programs and hundreds of interactive exhibits. The Museum of Science carries out its mission as a leader in transforming the nation’s relationship with science and technology through world-class exhibits, industry-leading curriculum, and innovative programming. As science and technology shapes our lives, it means we: • Promote active citizenship • Inspire lifelong appreciation of the importance of science • Make STEM accessible to young people of all backgrounds and abilities These principles manifest every day in all we do within the Museum walls as well as around the world, as a steward of our community, as informal and formal educators, and as advocates for scientific advancement. Since its founding in 1830, the Museum of Science has been at the cutting edge of scientific study and education. Today it has become an iconic symbol of the city’s long cultural and technological history – and future. Within its ¾ mile long building, the Museum of Science includes: • 10,000 square foot Hall of Human Life, allowing visitors to explore how they engage with their own bodies • Thomson Theater of Electricity, home to the world’s largest Van de Graaf generator which makes indoor lightning • Charles Hayden Planetarium, the most technologically advanced theater in New England • Mugar Omni Theater, New England’s only dome IMAX screen • Award-winning pre-K – 8 engineering curriculum, EiE, reaching 1.3 million students each year As a leader in the world’s museum community, we use our role as educator and communicator to bring diverse communities together to learn, share, and consider our collective role in the future of our planet.

We were excited to bring our Mars expertise and discoveries to the Museum of Science and Multiverse Concert Series’ Mars Symphony, which premieres tonight. Congratulations and thank you to the museum team and composer David Ibbett, who collaborated with our NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists to bring the symphony to life – we had the opportunity to recently welcome them to the Lab and meet with our experts to draw inspiration for the symphony. For decades, JPL has been at the forefront of Mars exploration – transforming our understanding of the red planet and bringing it from imagination to reality. The Mars Symphony uses real data and images from our missions and brilliantly translates them into music that tells the story of the rich history and our latest discoveries on Mars. If you'd like to hear a sneak peek of the sounds of Mars, have a listen here: https://bit.ly/4bkUtvK #DareMightyThingsTogether

“People can think out loud about what kind of world we want.” It was such a pleasure sitting down with Jim and Margery on yesterday’s “Boston Public Radio” to talk about our newly announced Public Science Common, as well as our Earthshot spotlight, our current and upcoming exhibits, and much more – all the ways that the Museum of Science is transforming the public’s relationship with science. https://lnkd.in/epjkumTn
