There's Always Something New To Learn!

At the Putnam Museum and Science Center, learning and fun don’t have an age cap. Whether you’re dropping in for a beverage and lecture with History on Tap, or immersing yourself in the magic of the Discovery Dome – we have a program for you!  

History on Tap occurs every third Thursday. From ancient civilizations to modern innovations, our guest speakers will quench your thirst for knowledge with their expertise and passion.

The Discovery Dome is an immersive, inflatable planetarium offers a unique opportunity for visitors of all ages to kick back and embark on a journey through the stars, galaxies, and beyond.

Guild Teas are organized by The Putnam Guild and open to the public. Every month they explore a new topic, which are often tied to the museum’s current or upcoming plans. The Guild works behind the scenes and alongside staff to further our mission. Want to get involved? Learn more here.

Our documentaries play every day on the GIANT Screen Theater and cover a wide variety of topics. See our showtimes to find your perfect match!
