Curiosity and discovery are limitless.
An extraordinary physical transformation is taking place at the
Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The brand new
Education and Collections Facility will add 126,000 square feet and
five levels of discovery to the Museum, providing even more space
to engage, delight, and spark your imagination.
Science Engagement Center - Three Above-Ground
Levels
With a beautiful glass expanse that truly connects the Museum
with City Park, it will forever alter how you interact with
science.
- Level 3 provides a new gallery space so we can
bring you even more world-class traveling exhibitions.
- Level 2 is a dedicated, interactive science
center for early learners, ages three to five. It includes a
brand new Discovery Zone and a Science Studio just for
preschoolers.
- Level 1 houses three Science Studios that use
gorgeous park views, state-of-the-art technology, and real
specimens to deliver engaging and experiential programs for school
kids and adults alike.
- The open, multi-level Science Atrium provides
a wonderful space for hands-on experiments, science demonstrations,
evening events and more.
- Outside, the new school entrance fills young
visitors with a sense of wonder from the minute they get off the
bus. As they approach the spacious Nature Plaza, public art
piques their interest and excitement for what's waiting
inside!
Rocky Mountain Science Collections Center - Two
Below-Ground Levels
Below ground are the two floors that make up the Rocky Mountain
Science Collections Center-a state-of-the-art preservation and
research facility.
- We are dedicating two floors of the Educations and Collections
Facility to house, study, and preserve more than 1.4 million
precious artifacts and specimens.
- This newly designed, climate-controlled space helps our team of
scientists make new discoveries and ensures these treasures are
preserved for generations to come.
