Rochester Museum & Science Center

The Mission of the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC) is to inspire a better future for all through curiosity, exploration, and participation in science, culture, and the natural world. The RMSC has existed as a cultural institution in Rochester, NY since 1912 (formerly the Rochester Municipal Museum and Rochester Museum of Arts & Sciences). We have exhibits on science, natural history, anthropology, indigenous cultures, as well as featured exhibits throughout the year.

We are a Science Museum, Planetarium, Preschool, and Nature Center dedicated to educating and inspiring curiosity in our visitors. We offer field trips, summer camps, family-themed programming, and after-hours events in addition to public opening hours.
