Discover the Science History Institute
We explain science and technology through often playful, always compelling stories about the past and the future.
Through research, exhibitions, public programming, and educational outreach, we tell stories that connect advances in science and technology to everyday life.
This virtual exhibition is much more than a sneak peek at our museum. You’ll learn what goes on beyond the galleries, including our magazine, podcasts, and public programs. And you’ll be introduced to a community of visiting scholars who come from around the world to pursue their research in the Othmer Library.
