The Museum of Science & History (MOSH) has been a valued resource for the region for over 80 years, and directly served 1,039,085 individuals over the last five years. The Museum has an established track record for shedding light on historical issues that resonate today through interdisciplinary exhibitions in the sciences and humanities this is accomplished by creating strong partnerships within the community to develop programs and exhibits aimed at furthering civic dialog about such topics as white supremacy, genocide, social injustice and bullying – wounds that stem from human differences.
MOSH is dedicated to being a venue where exhibits and programs express the diversity of its community, and where new and suppressed voices have the opportunity to be heard. MOSH also offers programs for visitors with different capabilities and needs, such as Sensory Nights and a touch-and-learn tour. Exhibit openings, member and donor events, Family Days, Super Senior Days and camp-ins promote engaging learning experiences for all ages.

The Museum is home to the Bryan-Gooding Planetarium, one of the largest single-lens digital dome planetariums in the United States.
MOSH’s award-winning permanent exhibits include the Currents of Time and Health in Motion. MOSH takes its commitment to education very seriously, and presents core, travelling and signature exhibits which offer dynamic and interactive learning experiences for audiences of all ages. Yet, as we as a society are more and more lured into passive learning modes by technology, providing a connection to dynamic, hands-on experiential learning is a role often assigned to informal learning institutions such as MOSH. Given the imperiled state of our planet, it’s critically important for each of us to not only value our collective past, but to recognize the importance of our relationship with the world we share.
