Mission

The Kenneth C. Griffin Museum of Science and Industry (the Museum), a 501(c)(3) corporation, is the largest science museum in the Western hemisphere and home to thousands of artifacts. For 90 years, the Museum has been a premier destination in Chicago, Illinois. The Museum's mission is to inspire the inventive genius in everyone, and its vision is rooted in the Museum's historic rotunda engraving: Science discerns the laws of nature, industry applies them to the needs of humankind. The Museum welcomes over 1.4 million guests annually and is the top Chicago museum field trip destination for students. Through its education programs, the Museum engages over half a million participants annually in science education programs.
