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’ve won two Educators Pick Best of STEM Awards for 2026! We’re excited to see our Middle School curriculum recognized as a Trailblazer. Developed with support from MathWorks, these six units give middle school students the chance to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills at an age when they’re forming their identities around STEM. We’re also thrilled to be recognized for Best Hands-On STEM for Enrichment. YES Enrichment units are designed to make meaningful, hands-on engineering work in flexible learning environments. A huge thank you to Catapult X, LLC and their panel of educator judges for choosing YES for both of these honors. And we’re especially grateful to YES educators. Without you, we wouldn’t be here. 💜 #EducatorsPick #BestofSTEM #STEMEducation #EngineeringEducation

  • We���re excited to share that the William and Charlotte Bloomberg Public Science Common will open to the public on October 10, 2026! This new convening space will feature cutting-edge technology and floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the Charles River, with 270-degree views of the Boston skyline. The Bloomberg Public Science Common will expand access to science by connecting the public with leading scientists and communicators through conferences, symposia, and more. “We believe the future of science is participatory,” said Tim Ritchie, Gwill York President, Museum of Science. “Science should belong to everyone. The William and Charlotte Bloomberg Public Science Common will be the world’s stage for science: a place where scientists, creators, artists, and the public will create experiences that inspire everyone with hope for a better future. Our mission is to inspire a lifelong love of science in everyone.” The Bloomberg Public Science Common is made possible through a gift from Medford native Michael R. Bloomberg’s Bloomberg Philanthropies, named in honor of his parents and continuing his longstanding support of the Museum and the Boston community. “As a kid growing up outside of Boston, visiting the Museum of Science sparked a lifelong love of learning and problem-solving,” Bloomberg said. “The Public Science Common will help ensure more young people get that experience, and it marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the museum.” Learn more and stay up to date: https://lnkd.in/eF9h6mKu
