Buffalo Museum of Science

The Buffalo Museum of Science in Buffalo, New York, grew from collections begun by the Buffalo Young Men's Association in 1836 and later transferred to the Buffalo Natural History Society, founded in 1861 under first president George W. Clinton. Its permanent home, a building by August Esenwein and James A. Johnson in Martin Luther King Jr. Park, was dedicated on January 19, 1929. A major renovation launched in 2010 transformed older diorama-style exhibits into interactive Science Studios and reopened the Kellogg Observatory in 2018. Today it combines historic natural history collections with hands-on galleries on topics from extinction, astronomy, and technology to children's learning.
