Light the Lantern

Since 1941, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History has brought the best in museum education and enjoyment to our region. Today, with more than 800,000 guests a year, the Museum urgently needs a new facility that can welcome the crowds and provide the latest in technology and media. We’re inviting you to join the Museum of Science and History in its campaign to build a new state-of-the-art campus for discovery and learning!

With your help, the new campus will bring science and history even more vividly to life by including:

  • Unique discovery areas that tell the fascinating history of the cattle and energy industries in Texas
  • Hands-on, interactive Learning Studio Galleries
  • Enhanced space for our popular Museum School®, ExploraZone®, and KIDSPACE®
  • New, multimedia Noble Planetarium
  • Improved space for the Museum’s 150,000-item collection and extraordinary traveling exhibits

Make it Happen!

To make this vision a reality, we need to raise $75 million. So far the idea of this new Museum has generated enthusiastic support, but we still have $10 million to raise. Your support of the campaign will help create a world-class Museum campus that builds on the wonderful success of our past, while preparing for an extraordinary future! You’ll be publicly recognized for your generosity when you make your tax-deductible contribution to the Campaign. And at the $1,500 and above level, you will have the very special opportunity to have your name engraved on a Brick Paver in the Main Museum Courtyard. (Please note that a limited number of Pavers are available.)

Will you help us build this extraordinary new facility?

Your gift of $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $1,500 or more will mean so much as we build a new Museum. Join the campaign with your generous gift today.
