Kirby Science Discovery Center At The Washington Pavilion

The Washington Pavilion brings science and art to life


When I was with other bloggers in Sioux Falls, SD, I had no idea what the Washington Pavilion was. I knew we would go there, but I really had no idea what to expect. For beginners, it is an old high school.

When you go up and down the stairs and walk through the corridors, you can imagine the school and imagine that you are walking through the corridors with other students.

They have a corridor where they have behaved as they were and a room that shows what the classrooms looked like. It was very nice to see the trophy cabinet and the photos of the team from the past through the hall.

So what is the Washington Pavilion?


The mission of the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Sciences is to educate, entertain, inspire and enrich the community by making art and science part of our lives. The Washington Pavilion's vision is to remain the region's most important artistic, scientific and cultural institution and a national model for multi-faceted and community-supported institutions.

They have a beautiful auditorium where concerts, performances and shows take place. The Husby Performing Arts Center is beautiful and does not seem to be in a bad state. You can view your schedule here. The pavilion also houses the Visual Arts Center, which brings together exhibitions of leading regional, national and international artists in its seven spacious galleries.

I have discovered so many great pieces and I love that the shows run, so you can always find something new. My favorite part of the pavilion was the Kirby Science Discovery Center. You have many interactive stations where you can play and learn. His T. Rex even masquerades as a butterfly for Halloween!

Roy's career at the Science Center began in the 1960s when he volunteered at the Center for Science and Industry (COSI) in Columbus, Ohio. He soon became an important figure in the museum, started his camping program and was President and CEO of COSI for 13 years. Roy was a member of the board of ASTC for eleven years, of which two years as president.

After he founded his own consultancy firm, Roy L. Shafer Company, he became an ASTC Organizational Coach, helping the organization to develop its mission, strategic plan and core values and goals.

ASTC awarded him the ASTC Fellow Award for Outstanding Contribution in 1999. After his death, the board of directors named ASTC Roy's Leading Edge Awards in honor of his progressive thinking, his dynamic leadership and his dedication to our profession.

Suitability: ASTC members with a good reputation (with the exception of the home institution of a jury member of the Leading Edge Awards) can submit a nomination for themselves or for one of their colleagues or for another institution or person. Here you will find museums of Jasper, Minnesota, including art museums and galleries, children's museums, natural history museums, science centers and discovery museums.

The museums offer exhibitions related to modern art and visual art, history, science and nature, dinosaurs, technology and much more. Showing 1-20 of 35 museums. Many museums are run by private, not-for-profit organizations that have been specially established for the management of the museum. Some cities and other local authorities have museums.

Universities and colleges often own and operate museums that are often related to an important research area of the institution. Museums can also be owned by companies, foundations and other private entities.

Museums are based on four main funding categories: government subsidies, private donations, income and capital income. The income comes from programs, retail sales and rents. A relatively small part of the price comes from entrance fees, because some museums are free and many try to keep ticket prices low so that the collections of the museum are open to the public.
