Science is all around us.
It’s not just found in the laboratory. It’s in the water we drink, the air we breathe, the clothes we wear, the blood in our veins and the earth beneath our feet. At the Science History Institute, you can explore the amazing successes, astonishing failures and strange surprises behind the science that shapes our world.
The Institute’s permanent exhibition takes you on a journey through more than 500 years of scientific inquiry into the material world, exploring the knowledge and technological changes that have given us cleaner air, safer foods and effective vaccines.
Rotating temporary exhibitions explore the history and science behind such diverse topics as synthetic dyes, water pollution and school lunch programs.
The museum is free and open to the public. You can also immerse yourself in stories of discovery, challenge and change by checking out several digital exhibitions online or by visiting the latest outdoor exhibition installed on the façade of the Institute’s building.
A visit to the Science History Institute is a journey through the weird and wonderful world of matter and materials where you’ll discover the stories behind the science.
