The Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science is a community partner that enriches lives by maintaining and interpreting its permanent collection and providing the highest quality of art, history and science programs.

An exciting “hands-on” Science Center offers a wide range of exhibitions and programs to inspire and instruct students of all ages.

Located on the Museum’s upper level, the Koch Planetarium provides scheduled explorations of the solar system.

The Anthropology Gallery offers a fascinating look at past cultures with emphasis upon North and South American native life from 13,000 BC to the present.

Paintings and graphic works from the 16th century to the present are prominent features in the Museum’s permanent art galleries.

Also offered annually in five temporary exhibition galleries are over 20 art, history and science exhibitions.

Visitors can stroll down the brick-paved street of a 19th Century American rivertown to see ornately decorated homes and shops stocked with notions and sundries.

On the grounds and terraces of the Museum, visitors may view contemporary and traditional sculpture.  The Evansville Museum Transportation Center (EMTRAC) invites visitors to step back in time and trace the history of transportation starting with a dug-out canoe; view an elaborate diorama of Evansville in the early 1940s which includes model railroads; and tour a 1908 steam switch engine, a Tennessee Club Car and a red caboose.
