It’s International Museum Day and we’re celebrating the best way we know how… by nerding out. 🤓✨

We may not be a traditional museum, but hands-on exploration, curiosity, and a little chaos are kind of our thing. Our mission is to encourage excellence in STEM education and make the excitement of scientific discovery accessible across the Gulf Region.

To our amazing community and supporters, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of our journey and making what we do possible. 💙

Everyone give it up for our next Employee of the Month: Maggie, our Gulf Coast box turtle! 🐢

As our MVP Animal Ambassador, Maggie represents the Exploreum through Science on the Go visits, meeting guests, and her signature slow-and-steady charm.

The Gulf Coast box turtle is the largest box turtle species in North America, and Maggie fully lives up to the title. She specializes in bug quality control, outdoor patrols, and winning over everyone she meets. She’s even built quite the fanbase, receiving custom artwork from one of her biggest supporters. 🎨✨

She’s generously compensated with shell petting, enrichment adventures, and plenty of sunbathing breaks during office hours.

Let’s hear it for Maggie and her outstanding service! 👏

Atrium Explorers: Dig Into Spring! 🌸🌱

This Saturday, May 2, we’re inviting young botanists to the Exploreum for a hands-on adventure in plant science!

In this session of Atrium Explorers, participants will plant their very own zinnia seeds. They are one of the most colorful and easy-to-grow flowers for our local climate. These pollinator-friendly blooms are as resilient as they are beautiful, making them perfect for gardens or sunny windowsills.

During the workshop, participants will:
- Get hands-on while learning what seeds need to grow and thrive.
- Create & take home their own planted zinnias to watch bloom all season long.

✨ Note: This is our final Atrium Explorers event of the season before we head into a busy summer, so don’t miss out! Saturday morning fun returns in September.

📅 Saturday, May 2
🕙 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
📍 Exploreum Science Center Atrium

Come help us turn the Atrium into a sea of green! 🌿
Included with general admission or Exploreum membership.
