  • Saturday & Sunday, April 27 & 28, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm – Rise Up Boston: A Climate Event

    Join The Museum of Science on April 27 and 28 for a lively weekend of hands-on activities, enlightening live presentations, climate conversations, and much more! Meet with some of the people who are making a difference addressing climate change at tables throughout the Museum, and talk with Museum educators. This two-day event is all about informing, empowering, and inspiring action. And it’s just the beginning, as we all work together to make a difference!

    The Museum of Science is committed to offering experiences that highlight the impacts of climate change around the world and here at home. We encourage visitors (in-person and online) to learn about the impacts of a changing climate, consider the perspectives of others, become more confident in taking action, and discover ways to be part of the solution through individual and collective action. Event highlights include exhibits on Changing Landscapes, Arctic Adventure: Exploring with Technology, and the Gaia Glob, UK artist Luke Jerram’s awe-inspiring artwork. There will be live presentations and activities as well – explore at www.mos.org
