Thank you for making Museum Day 2009 such a huge success! Please check back for information on Museum Day 2010.
Until then, check out our participating museums and upcoming events on our Twitter page.

Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii tells an amazing tale of the night sky - how Hawaiians navigated the Pacific Ocean by the stars to how astronomers view the Universe from observatories atop Maunakea. The Center offers hands-on exhibits, a 3D stereo planetarium, museum store and restaurant.




Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
