CEO Letter

The Science Museum of Minnesota is a thrilling gateway into the most important questions of our times. Open and welcoming to everyone, we empower people—and especially children­— to use scientific inquiry and environmental justice perspectives to explore climate change solutions; the future of food, water, and energy; and even what it means to be human.

While learning about our world, visitors also learn about themselves. The biggest, most transformative discovery any visitor makes is: we can all use science to realize our full potential.

The Science Museum helps every Minnesotan recognize and develop their own capacity to use STEM skills and become the innovators we need. To realize this vision, we are launching a capital campaign that will: 1) reimagine our 1999 building to inspire Minnesotans born into a dramatically different world, and 2) expand transformative STEM-equity programs that push the boundaries of science education.

When we succeed, this campaign will dramatically impact workforce development, make science exciting and relevant, support our teachers, change the face of future scientists, and motivate every Minnesotan to participate in solving our most pressing challenges while celebrating the history of innovation and excellence originating from Minnesota for more than 100 years.

Join me as we reimagine the future of Minnesota.

Alison Rempel Brown
CEO, Science Museum of Minnesota
