Where there's something for everyone


From our tinkering studio to our fossil dig, our exhibits are engineered in-house for both fun and hands-on learning. Explore the museum and shoot a rocket, build a marble run, or land a lunar module—there is something for the whole family to enjoy.

Featured Exhibit

Paleoart Through Time


Paleoart provides context not just to our past but to our present. Graduating SOU sculpture student Drew Hogan's installation is a chronological exploration of how our understanding of prehistoric species has evolved from the early 1900s to now, with pop-culture touchstones. This installation will include a variety of sculptures -- some interactive and some not -- which explore the subject matter of dinosaur species, the materiality of the paleoart itself, and the artist’s evolution. The Paleoart Through Time exhibit is ideal for learners of all ages and will be on display at ScienceWorks until the end of September.

Public Opening on First Friday, June 6
Paleoart Through Time opens with a special  First Friday event on the evening of June 6 from 5 to 7 PM, featuring free admission and beverages available for purchase. Meet graduating SOU sculpture artist, Drew Hogan, explore the exhibit, and celebrate local creativity and scientific exploration!

Dino Sky:

A New Vision of the Heavens

Dino Sky: A New Vision of the Heavens is a ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum interactive exhibition that combines two things we love at the museum: dinosaurs and space! Light pollution, digital screens, work, and school have recently made star-gazing more difficult and less popular. This exhibit promotes the rediscovery of the night sky and encourages visitors to explore traditional constellations reimagined as prehistoric creatures.
