WELCOME TO AMOS

A small museum with a BIG mission!

The Asheville Museum of Science  is Western North Carolina’s home for experiential science learning, discovery, and exploration.  We strive to spark the imagination and foster lifelong curiosity.

Explore, Play, and Learn! The Asheville Museum of Science  is a growing local science museum with interactive, hands-on exhibits for science lovers of all ages. Young learners ages 3-12 will especially enjoy our exhibits and programs that strive to spark the imagination, fuel a passion for discovery and experimentation, and foster lifelong curiosity!

Get Ready to SPIN!

Introducing our newest travelling exhibit Spin: The Science of Rotation, brought to you in collaboration with the Catawba Science Center in Hickory, NC. Spin is an exciting exhibit that explores the fun-and science-of objects that rotate. A truly hands-on exhibit, Spin uses real-life cause and effect examples of the spinning science of toys, sports, space travel, and even the Universe itself!

Patrons local to the area might recognize Spin as a popular exhibit from the Health Adventure, which shared its home in Pack Place with the Colburn Museum of Minerals from 1992-2013. Thanks to this partnership between AMOS and Catawba to revitalize and update the exhibits, Spin is now making a “comeback” to downtown Asheville! On view now through Spring 2026.
