Come to the Planetarium and listen to amazing stor Come to the Planetarium and listen to amazing stories about the wide, wonderful world while the stars and constellations move all around you! Star Filled Storytime is designed for our younger learners, but enjoyable for the whole family and occurs the first Saturday of the month.
59 years ago, we broke ground on this spot. Today, 59 years ago, we broke ground on this spot. Today, we did it again, for future generations. 

Just a few years ago, people were asking whether miSci would still be here. Our community answered with overwhelming support and today we put shovels in the ground on the next chapter of miSci.

Thanks to a $10 million investment from New York State, secured by Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, miSci is getting new classrooms, modernized facilities, more gallery space, and better protection for the archives that tell Schenectady’s story of innovation.

Thank you to Neil Golub, Schenectady County, Metroplex, Mayor McCarthy, our board, our partners, and everyone who believed miSci was worth fighting for.

We didn’t just save a museum. We secured its future. Now we start building it.
