There is always a new adventure awaiting you at the
Museum of Arts and Sciences!
In the three-floor Discovery House, visitors
can engage in hands-on activities with art and
science, and explore the Mini-Zoo to see a diverse
range of animals from around the globe. Children
can uncover recreated fossils in the Scientist’s
Workshop, where a prehistoric whale fossil hangs above. Discover the universe in the Mark
Smith Planetarium with daily star shows, and stroll along the paved Sweet Gum Trail to view
outdoor sculptures, gardens, the bat cave, and the Raptor Retreat, home to birds of prey. Enjoy
rotating art and science exhibitions in four art galleries.
Founded in 1956 as a modest one-room exhibit in the basement of the Wesleyan Conservatory,
the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Macon has expanded to a 55,000 square-foot facility
on over 16 acres. As a premier resource for lifelong learning, MAS stands at the intersection
of arts and sciences, offering enriching exhibits, dynamic programs, and interactive activities.
