~23,000 sq ft. exhibit space
6 permanent exhibit zones, traveling and sponsored exhibitis, and events spaces.
6 Main Experience Zones
Hands-on, interactive experiences for all ages, designed to be locally focused and globally relevant.
Breakthrough
Breakthrough, the largest FMSM zone, contains a collection of unexpected environments designed for exploration, creation, learning, and sharing. During each visit, people uncover new layers of experience as they find fresh ways to have fun and new ways to see the world.
Breakthrough features:
• Intense engagement and casual hangout
• Mystery, search, and discovery
• Individual and group participatory opportunities
• Full-body activity
Each visit offers the opportunity to experience Breakthrough from a different perspective–someone quite different than yourself, an animal, a plant, a particle of clay. The journeys might be linked to spaces and places outside the walls of FMSM.
Into the Storm
Into the Storm sweeps visitors into tales of wind, hail, and snow. They hurtle through a multistory slide, ascend a winding exhibit-packed ramp, and catch sight of unique weather events and data visualizations projected onto free-floating weather balloons. Talking about the weather offers a time-honored way for people to engage with each other at the intersection of STEM, community values, and trust.
