Mission

Combining science with history and culture, the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery connects visitors to a deeper understanding of the world and their place in it, from our local community to the global community beyond. The museum is a place where people can come together to share events and experiences, a place for building community while providing inspiration and insight. The Fort Collins Museum of Discovery creates meaningful opportunities for people of all ages to learn, reflect and have fun through hands-on and collections-based explorations in science and culture. <br><br>Since opening in 2012, we have welcomed more than 820,000 visitors from all 50 states. Our exhibits gallery boasts long-term exhibits in science, music, agriculture, astronomy, first peoples, wildlands and more including 4 buildings of regional historical importance at our Heritage Courtyard, the on-site Archive & Collections, and Northern Colorado's only 360° immersive theater - the OtterBox Digital Dome Theater.
