Sloan Museum, Science and history museum in Flint Cultural Center, United States

The Sloan Museum is a science and history museum in Flint, Michigan, displaying vehicles, scientific collections, and hands-on exhibits across several galleries. The topics covered range from the region's local history to natural science and everyday life in mid-Michigan.

The original Sloan Museum building opened in 1966 and closed in 2018 for a major overhaul and expansion. Construction on the enlarged building began in June 2019, and the Sloan Museum of Discovery reopened on July 16, 2022. It is named for Alfred P. Sloan, the longtime General Motors chief executive, and is run by the nonprofit Flint Institute of Science and History.

The museum sits in Flint's Cultural Center, a part of the city where several museums and public spaces are grouped together. The car industry runs through much of what is shown here, reflecting how deeply manufacturing shaped life in this part of Michigan.

Allow a few hours for the visit, since the galleries cover a wide range of topics and it is easy to spend more time than expected. The museum is in the Cultural Center area, where parking is generally available nearby.

The vehicle gallery covers 11,000 square feet and holds rare and historic vehicles built in Genesee County, including cars made by Billy Durant's Durant Motors, a local competitor of General Motors. The museum is named for Alfred P. Sloan, the longtime General Motors chief executive.
