🛠Exciting news! Thanks to a generous donation, The Discovery is about to undergo a number of major improvement projects. Work will begin Monday, August 26 and will continue through Sunday, October 4, concluding just in time for WCSD’s fall break.

The Discovery has been providing northern Nevadans with exciting ways to get hands-on with science for nearly 13 years. Hearing stories from our community about how much they value what the museum provides is both gratifying and motivating. We invite you to take a moment to read what Atzimba and her family love about The Discovery and how they hope the community continues to see the museum as a treasured community asset. #nonprofitday #sciencemuseum #biggestlittlecity
