Women in Chemistry - Virtual Talk (Email Tours@sciencehistory.org To Book)

The Science History Institute is a small museum dedicated to the history of the chemical and molecular sciences. We tell the stories behind the science: histories of discovery and innovation, challenge and change. Our collections include scientific instrumentation and tools of the laboratory, artwork related to alchemy and early chemistry, photography and archives, a specialized research library with a rare books collection, and a growing digital collection. Our main museum and permanent exhibition are on the first floor, with an additional upper level mezzanine. We also have a special changing exhibits gallery, and regular “pop-up” exhibits in our ExhibitLab and on the exterior of our building façade; please check our website to see what’s new and currently on view!

Our tours and programs are most suitable for ages 12-13 (7th grade) and up.

PLEASE NOTE:

Due to ongoing renovations, the opening hours of the Science History Institute have changed, and we are currently unable to accept bookings in the morning for in-person learning experiences. We apologize for the inconvenience. Additional afternoon time slots have been made available, and we ask that you pardon our appearance as we continue to improve our lobby and exhibit space. The permanent collection and special Hach Gallery exhibit remain on view and unaffected by construction. If you have any further questions, please contact Alex Asal at tours@sciencehistory.org.
