The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History

The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History was established in 1941 by educators. It was one of the first children’s museums in the country to be accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is located in the city's Cultural District. The current building, finished in 2009 by Legorreta + Legorreta, houses attractions such as hands-on learning studios, a children’s museum, the Noble Planetarium, and the Star's Café, in addition to both traveling and permanent science and history exhibits. The Museum offers Pre-K - 12 and multi-generational experiential learning that embraces history, science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM).
