Discovery Place

Discovery Place is a museum in North Carolina with exhibitions spread across multiple floors focused on science, nature, and community development. The modern exhibition spaces offer hands-on learning opportunities for visitors of all ages.

The museum was founded in 1981 to meet the need for accessible cultural spaces and educational resources in the region. Since its opening, the institution has grown into a major center for community-focused education.

The museum regularly features work by local artists and displays collections reflecting the social development of North Carolina. Visitors encounter contemporary and historical works that document the cultural life of the region.

The spaces are fully accessible, so all visitors can reach the exhibitions. It makes sense to allow extra time for the interactive exhibits, especially when visiting with children.

The central gallery area is transformed each month into a space for interactive learning experiments where visitors actively participate. This rotating design makes each month a new experience for repeat visitors.
