The Science Museum has undergone a dramatic renovation of its home in Center in the Square. The museum continues to reinvent not only the exhibit galleries, but also the entire museum and its connecting spaces, classrooms, and programs in order to transform the way visitors engage in learning science. The museum now features the Healthy Bodies Gallery, Healthy Earth Gallery, an expanded How it Works Gallery, Living River & Touch Tank, Maker Lab, and The Bubble for preschoolers. The new Hidden Garden exhibit, formerly the Butterfly Garden, explores horticulture, teaching students and adults about the processes and factors influencing plant growth and the fundamentals of gardening. This exhibit aims to provide visitors with the tools and skills necessary to grow healthy food for consumption in their own homes and garden.
