We make discoveries every day

Science Museum of Minnesota scientists are collecting data from the clues around us to uncover stories about our state — and our world. From sediment coring in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to archeological excavation in along the St. Croix River Valley, our work inspires learning, informs policy, and improves lives.

OUR SCIENCE

We empower learning

Our tools, including curriculum support, professional development, and interactive classes, support educators in doing what they do best — molding the next generation of critical thinkers and innovative changemakers.

We bring the science where the learners are, creating those up-close 'aha' moments on our campus and across all 87 counties in Minnesota.
