Give gifts that give back!

Did you know that the Explore Store is 100% owned and operated by the Science Museum of Minnesota? That means 100% of proceeds from every purchase support the museum’s mission of ensuring science learning is accessible to all, making every gift you give a gift for STEM learners in our community, too.
