The Owensboro Museum of Science and History is a “hands-on, minds-on gallery—a true edutainment experience.” Located just 300 feet from the Ohio River, the museum is housed in a historic building stretching an entire city block.
Exhibits include the PlayZeum (indoor playground), SpeedZeum (motorsports), The Coal Mine Gallery, and Ford Government Gallery. The Owensboro Museum offers a wide range of educational programming to school groups and other organizations, and birthday parties, rentals, and field trips are available on request.
