The Montshire Museum


The Montshire Museum of Science is a hands-on museum located in Norwich, Vermont, with more than 140 exhibits relating to the natural and physical sciences, ecology, and technology. We had such a great time despite the cold rainy weather. We were able to explore outside during a light drizzle.  
A woolly mammoth with fur that is a foot thick, a tiny horse that bounds like an antelope, a seven foot tall carnivore that has the head of a giant warthog—we met them all on our outside walk!
A favorite exhibit was all about bubbles! Science in Soap is a completely new and re-imagined exhibition that incorporates pure experimentation, hands-on learning, and a touch of whimsy!
