Miami Science Museum

In 1949, The Junior League of Miami’s "Project Finding Committee" determined that Dade County’s children needed a science museum. The Junior Museum of Miami, a private non-profit organization, was established in 1950 in a house on the corner of Biscayne Boulevard and 26th Street. The Junior Museum expanded so quickly that in 1952 it was forced to move to the Miami Women’s Club building on Bayshore Drive. It was then christened the Museum of Science and Natural History.

Though the history of the institution can be charted by the growth of its facility, this story is ultimately one of people. For almost 50 years, the Miami Science Museum and Space Transit Planetarium has been nurtured by a legion of tireless volunteers and generous contributors. Their abundance of vision and dedication has rarely been equaled by any other civic group in the city’s history. Here, the greatness of the accomplishment can be found.
