Curiosity is

in our DNA

Every gift made by January 25 is matched dollar for dollar by an anonymous donor up to $300,000.

For nearly 120 years, every generation of Minnesotans has rebuilt the Science Museum for the next one: free public lectures in 1907, one of the first museum-based schools in the country, the original Omnitheater films, our riverfront home in St. Paul.

This year we made hard choices to balance our budget. But cuts alone won't carry us into our next century. That takes all of us.

Now it's our turn

You remember

Pressing every button in the hands-on galleries until a parent pulled you away

Seeing the T. rex and Triceratops fossils for the first time

Chaperoning a field trip and secretly loving every minute

Watching outer space fill the Omnitheater dome

Catching a Mississippi River sunset from the river balcony

What your gift makes possible

$10 sends a child on a field trip, which for some kids is their first time inside a museum

$75 buys two tanks of hydrogen to keep the bangs, flashes, and gasps coming at Science Live shows

$100 gives a Minnesota school a year of Lending Library membership, giving teachers the tools and lessons to inspire a love for science

$750 pays for a bus to the museum for a classroom, sometimes the only barrier for teachers hoping to bring their students to the galleries

$1,000 supports one high school crew member participating in Kitty Andersen Youth Science Center youth development and workforce readiness programming for a full school year

Give in honor of someone

Make a gift in honor of a child, grandchild or anyone who shares your curiosity.
