Take in the Bell Museum at night!
Our late/extended hours offer additional viewing time to check out the museum’s fascinating galleries and special exhibits all included with general admission.
Visit the far reaches of the universe, see a glimpse of the diversity of life on Earth, travel back in time to meet a woolly mammoth, tour the entire state of Minnesota, and learn about University of Minnesota researchers and citizen scientists imagining a better future.
Solution Studio
Scientists use creativity every day. Meet researchers from the University of Minnesota who are using their imagination to solve real challenges facing people and the planet.
In the Solution Studio, let your creativity run wild as you work to solve challenges inspired by this cutting edge research. We provide the materials and tools, you bring the big ideas and a willingness to explore, create, experiment, and share!
Also, join Beatrix*JAR for a one-of-a-kind audio experience. This dynamic duo invites you to participate in an audio playground where you can make music on vintage electronics instruments and create unique sonic conversations. People of all skill levels are invited to experiment with sound without the pressure of a formal musical outcome.
