Rainy weekend plans? We have you covered ☔🔬🌌

Come explore our summer exhibit, Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body, then take a journey that’s truly out of this world in our new Anywhere Room.

This weekend we’re showing The Known Universe, where you’ll travel from the Himalayas through Earth’s atmosphere, beyond the Milky Way, and deep into the inky black of space, all the way to the afterglow of the Big Bang.

Sounds like the perfect recipe for some wildly fun rainy day adventures!

We're open 10am-5pm Tuesday-Sunday
