Our Mission

We envision a world where everyone has the power to use science to make lives better.

Here at the Science Museum of Minnesota, we deliver bold science through memorable experiences for the youngest learners, build pathways to STEM careers, and create joyful and engaging experiences for adult learners.

We conduct groundbreaking research that is changing what we know about the most critical issues facing our country: climate change, human identity, and the sustainability of food, water, and energy.

Now, more than ever, dedication to scientific discovery is vital.
