University of Louisiana at Lafayette Science Museum

Office

The Lafayette Science Museum is funded by a board of directors, the Lafayette Consolidated Government, and private donations. The museum’s ongoing acquisitions of new items, installations, and events, as well as partnerships with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and other educational programs and institutions, wouldn’t be possible without the people of Lafayette’s support.

The museum’s staff has been hard at work researching, developing, and partnering with organizations around the world to keep fascinating exhibits and pieces within the downtown building. The museum’s planetarium, part of the list of exhibits since the beginning, has undergone numerous upgrades over the years. It features daily showings of the night sky, as well as programs, both educational and entertaining, shown regularly along its domed walls.
