The Explorers
The Explorers are a community of Museum of Science supporters who believe that there is no greater gift than sharing your love of learning. They are a dedicated group of philanthropists who are interested in developing a deeper connection with the Museum while helping to sustain its mission of providing critical STEM education to people of all ages.
The Explorers Society Impact
Your Explorer support directly impacts the Museum by delivering the unrestricted income needed to:
- Maintain your favorite exhibits and bring new exhibits to life
- Develop hands-on, educational programming
- Provide for the upkeep and care of our Science Park facilities
Your annual support is truly the cornerstone of our efforts to spread the joy of discovery to millions of visitors every year.
