Exploreum HistoryRecognizing an opportunity to improve the community through science-based educational programming, The Junior League of Mobile provided funding for research and development of a hands-on interactive museum for the children of Mobile.
-
Exploreum HistoryThe board eventually raised $1.3 million to build a 10,000-square-foot (929 m2) contemporary building on Springhill Avenue adjacent to the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion, and the Gulf Coast Exploreum “Museum of Science” was opened
-
That site was outgrown within 4 years and a Relocation Committee was formed and determined that Mobile’s historic downtown area would be well suited for an expanded, state of the art science center and IMAX theater. A capital campaign was launched at this time with the procurement of corporate and individual contributions and commitments by officials at the city, county and federal level.
-
After 11 years of planning and 3 years of construction, the new facility situated on Government Street between Royal and Water streets was opened and is now suited for people of all ages.
