miSci Museum of Innovation and Science was originally established in 1934 as a center for imagination, creativity and learning. In 1997, the museum merged with the General Electric Hall of Electric History, thereby expanding their collection to include more than 15,000 fascinating science and technology artifacts. The museum is housed in a large building which includes exhibition space, a planetarium and classrooms. Just a few of the most popular exhibits include Ground to Gourmet, which documents the history of some of New York’s favorite foods and the Selling Electricity exhibit which traces the history of electrical appliances. Visitors should not miss the chance to attend one of the shows at the Planetarium.
