Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, Science museum in Cultural District, Fort Worth, Texas.
The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is a large museum building in the Cultural District featuring modern architecture with glass-walled spaces and interactive displays on science and Texas history. The building contains several exhibit areas including DinoLabs, Innovation Studios, and a planetarium for hands-on learning.
The museum began in 1945 as a children's museum and relocated to its current location in 1954. The name changed in 1968 to reflect its expanded focus on science and history.
The museum features a section dedicated to the cattle industry and its role in shaping Texas identity and regional life. Visitors can see how ranching traditions influenced the development of the state and its communities.
The museum is located in the Cultural District with parking available and clear signage throughout the building for different exhibit areas. All spaces are designed to be accessible, with rest areas and wayfinding aids to help visitors navigate.
The building was intentionally designed around an original tree from the previous location, now located in the Heritage Courtyard. This choice shows how the museum connected its past with its newer architecture.
