The Museum of Science, Boston creates its own signature exhibits, programs, and shows that mix science, interactivity, and even humor to inform and amaze. As worldwide interest mounts for high-quality STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education, we renew and expand our mission to transform the public’s relationship with science and technology by creating new products for museums, educators, and businesses that span the globe.
