At OMSI

The Oregon Museum for Science and Industry was originally created in 1986 to showcase the natural wonders of the state. As this tiny City Hall Museum began to pick up interest within the community, local businessman Ralph Lloyd began hosting the new Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in his house, opening up the Northwest’s first planetarium.

After several expansions and updates, OMSI is now ranked one of the top science centers in the United States. Visitors can explore exhibitions like the USS Blueback Submarine, the last non-nuclear submarine built by the U.S. Navy, a NASA supported planetarium, along with hands-on activities where guests can build their own structural solutions to real-world problems.
