Asheville Museum of Science

The Asheville Museum of Science (formerly the Colburn Earth Science Museum) is slated to reopen in the new location in the fall of 2016! Stay tuned for details and be sure to sign up for our newsletter.
The Asheville Museum of Science will be the premier science destination in downtown Asheville, NC. Bring the whole family and discover the science that makes Western North Carolina unforgettable. Tour our Colburn Hall of Minerals, watch as topography changes as you interact with our Terra Box, climb in our Cradle of Forestry exhibit, go back in time with our Teratophoneus dinosaur skeleton, make a splash with our French Broad River exhibit, and so much more!
