Biodiversity: The variety of life in the world
The Museum of Science opened May 29, 1938. This building boasts many handcrafted elements and local success stories, including slate slabs in the floor that were quarried from the bed of the Maumee River and polished to a sheen! This building was renovated and reopened in May 2019 as The ProMedica Museum of Natural History and include a two-story greenhouse, venomous animals, life-size models and much more!
