MOSH Museum: Exploring Science, History, and Citizenship

The Museum of Science and History (MOSH) has been a hub of learning and exploration for visitors of all ages. With a diverse range of exhibitions on science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM), MOSH offers something for everyone.

One of the latest additions to the museum's lineup is the online exhibition Science Behind the News: Viruses, organized by The New York Hall of Science (NYSCI). This bilingual exhibition delves into the world of viruses, providing an in-depth look at how they spread and how we can combat them using scientific evidence.

In addition to this timely and important topic, MOSH has also hosted exhibitions that explore the complexities of history. Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow, a poster exhibition produced by the New-York Historical Society, examines the struggles for full citizenship and racial equality faced by African Americans following the Civil War. This powerful exhibit highlights the contested efforts to create an interracial democracy and the harsh backlash that led to the 'separate but equal' age of Jim Crow.

MOSH's commitment to STEAM education is evident in its various programs, including the STEAM Life Academy After-School Club and Artist in Residence Request for Proposals. These initiatives provide opportunities for students and artists alike to explore their creativity and develop essential skills in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.

In recognition of the 151st anniversary of the passage of the 15th Amendment, MOSH is proud to host Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow. This exhibition serves as a timely reminder of the importance of understanding our history and working towards a more equitable future.

Whether you're interested in science, history, or art, the Museum of Science and History has something for everyone. With its diverse range of exhibitions and programs, MOSH is an essential destination for anyone looking to explore, learn, and grow.
