Mission

THE KNOXVILLE SCIENCE MUSEUM, INC. WAS ESTABLISHED TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A PROPOSED 150,000 SQUARE FOOT SCIENCE MUSEUM TO PROVIDE AREA RESIDENTS AND VISITORS OF ALL AGES WITH INTERACTIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE AND LEARN ABOUT SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH (STEM). THE CITY OF KNOXVILLE HAS APPROVED THE PROPOSED PROJECT AND HAS GRANTED A PARCEL OF PROPERTY NEAR DOWNTOWN KNOXVILLE TO SERVE AS THE MUSEUM'S SITE.

THE RELOCATION PROCESS WAS DELAYED BY THE COVID PANDEMIC AND CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS AT THE OTHER PROPERTY.

DURING 2022 THE KNOXVILLE SCIENCE MUSEUM BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE TRANSFER OF 20
