Stories of Science: Mystery Science

Join us in our museum EVERY SATURDAY for a family-friendly program that highlights the many strange and surprising stories from the history of science.

Each month we explore a different theme and in October, we’re getting spooky with some scientific mysteries! This week, stop by our activity table to try and solve a series of mysterious poisonings based on the novels and short stories of Agatha Christie.

Solve a food science scavenger hunt and receive a treat and historic candy recipes.

This event is also part of Halloween in the Historic District. No tricks, just treats! Enjoy a family-friendly day of trick-or-treating throughout the neighborhood’s cultural institutions and businesses.

Our fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Take an up-close look at interesting items in our handling collection. Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind everyday items like ice cube trays and LED light bulbs. Chat with our experienced Gallery Guides to find out more about the people responsible for the science embedded in our daily lives.

During your visit, you can also check out our themed “drop-in” tours at 11:30am and 2pm.

Stories of Science takes place weekly on Saturdays. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
