In 2013, We Reached More People, Ran New Events, and Enhanced Our Spaces!


Redeveloped Exhibit Presentation
& New Local Artwork on Display.

Our galleries welcomed 5,500
Walk-In Visitors.

In conjunction with our new mission statement, we unveiled our new logo and new name, both with an emphasis on education and meaningful links to today’s world.


We Are Looking Forward to our Upcoming Plans!

Expanding our Offerings to Reach Diverse Audiences
We plan to add new programs with ongoing community engagement that will reach a more diverse and under-served population.

We will launch our new Internship Program, SEE through SEA (Seeking Excellence Everyday through Science, Education, and Art.)

Increased Events
Our new events received rave reviews this year from new audiences. We plan to keep the energy going with fresh ideas and approaches to ensure our museum is connected  with current interests.

Capital Improvements
· · Our new StoryTelling Garden for families and children will be developed over the spring and summer.
