Discover the Evolution of Science

In the Evolution of Science Gallery at the Putnam Museum & Science Center, we showcase a wide variety of science interactives that will captivate and inspire visitors of all ages.

From the basic elements of the periodic table, through scientific principles of discovery to the latest breakthroughs, the hands-on interactives take you on an enlightening journey through the evolution of science. You’ll learn all about Archimedes to levers, pulleys, gears, and so much more! Explore and immerse yourself in the wonders of scientific method and discovery.

Whether you’re accompanied by young ones or are just young at heart, this is a hands-on experience you do not want to miss out on.
