Science Museum

A 1930s railway terminal is an unexpected home for dinosaurs, human anatomy and the laws of physics. Inside Cincinnati’s Union Terminal, the Science Museum turns one of the city’s great historic buildings into a place for investigating how the natural world works. The galleries range from the human body and prehistoric life to space, energy and the forces that shape our world. Rather than separating science into neat subjects, the museum mixes experiments, specimens, demonstrations and unusual objects throughout the building. Its dramatic setting adds another layer: visitors can move from the architecture of America’s railway age straight into the science behind the universe.
