Museum Overview

The history of the Buffalo Museum of Science began in 1836, when the Young Men’s Association was founded in the City of Buffalo. The YMA was the center for organized cultural activities in Buffalo. Dealing with the public library, science, literature and art, the YMA soon became the owner of numerous specimens which were the first exhibits for the Buffalo museum we have today.

Exhibits

The museum's collections cover items from anthropology to zoology, and also include interactive exhibits. Also, the museum features some special collections such as the Wilson A. Bentley (1865-1931) collection which has photomicrographs of snow crystals, frost and dew.
