The Museum of Science is a large science center located at Science Park at the intersection of Boston and Cambridge. It engages nearly five million people each year, making it New England's most attended cultural institution and one of the world's largest science centers. Its mission is to inspire a lifelong love of science.
The institution delivers this engagement through a broad portfolio of programming. Offerings include physical and live animal exhibits - featuring the nation's largest indoor butterfly sanctuary - immersive theaters such as a planetarium and Omni film venue, and live science presentations. It also produces digital content including articles, podcasts, and videos, alongside STEM education programs and curricula for students and educators.
The Museum functions as a trusted convener for local and state government, schools, and the general public. Its stated vision is to create a world where science belongs to each of us for the good of all of us, with a focus on equipping and inspiring everyone to use science for the global good.
