历史
Just thirty years after the founding of Cincinnati, physician and scientist Daniel Drake founded the Western Museum in 1818 and hired naturalist John James Audubon as its first employee. In 1835 Drake established the Western Academy of Natural 科学s, incorporating the collections of the Western Museum. After the Civil War, this organization evolved into the Cincinnati Society of Natural 历史. The Society continued to grow in sophistication, adding to its collections and expanding its staff.
After nearly a century as a tenant in various downtown buildings, the museum moved into its own home on Gilbert Avenue in Eden Park in 1958. Here it distinguished itself by creating a widely-adopted educational program where hundreds of museum exhibit cases rotated through the Cincinnati public school system, reaching thousands of students weekly in their classrooms. Attendance and membership continued to grow until the museum moved to 结合终端 in 1990. 今天，它吸引了超过1人.每年有500万游客.
自然历史博物馆 & 科学展览
恐龙大厅 功能不可思议, awe-inspiring specimens you won’t find anywhere else and utilizes our globally-significant fossil collections to explore dinosaur evolution, 生态学与生物学.
有没有想过龙卷风是如何形成的, how you can lift your weight or what happens when push comes to pull? Find out in the new 科学互动廊, and try your hand at experiments for all ages! The 科学 Interactives is now open in the 自然历史博物馆 & 科学.
加入 us every day as we bring science to life! 科学的生活! Stage Shows explore scientific concepts such as electricity, 化学, and physics in easily understandable (and often explosive) ways. From objects frozen solid and brittle in liquid nitrogen, to a fireball you can actual feel the heat off of, the shows are extreme in all the best ways.
Guests can pick their adventure: choose between beginner and advanced expeditions and feel the chill as you dip below ground and follow the flow of water as it carves formations through 500 feet of twists and turns. 然后, deepen your understanding of these features of our regional landscape in the above-ground interpretation center.
