  • The Kentucky Science Center, previously known as the Louisville Museum of Natural History & Science and then Louisville Science Center, is Kentucky's largest science museum. Located in Louisville, Kentucky, on "Museum Row" in the West Main District of downtown, the museum operates as a non-profit organization. It was founded in 1871 as a natural history collection. More than half a million people visit the museum annually. Many students in Kentucky take field trips to the Kentucky Science Center. There are about 550,000 visitors annually. A special hands-on area for children, featuring six educational activity sections, was renovated and renamed as KidZone in 1998. The building itself is located at 727 West Main Street and about 150,000 sq ft (14,000 m2). The distinctive cast-iron facade limestone building was originally built in 1878 as a dry goods warehouse. The city purchased the property in 1975, and the museum moved to the premises in 1977, subsequently winning several design awards for its preservation of the building. A four-story digital theater was added in 1988 and renovated in early 2014. The pendulum has been a fixture of the building for decades. On January 11 2007, it was announced that the Kentucky Science Center would acquire the Alexander Building, which was built in 1880, adjacent to the current building. In 2009, the center opened a Science Education Wing on the building's first floor. The wing includes four science-workshop labs equipped for "hands-on participation". The five-story Alexander Building is nearly 37,000 square feet (3,400 m2). (en)
  • Le Louisville Science Center, anciennement nommé Louisville Museum of Natural History & Science, est le plus grand musée consacré à la science du Kentucky. Il est situé à Louisville dans le quartier de Downtown. Le musée fut créé en 1871 en tant que musée d'histoire naturelle et accueille chaque année un demi-million de visiteurs dont de nombreux étudiants de l'état sur près de 14 000 m2 d'expositions. Le musée possède un cinéma IMAX de quatre niveaux depuis 1988. Sa façade est faite de calcaire et est décorée d'objets décoratifs en acier. Le bâtiment date de 1878 bien qu'à l'origine il s'agissait d'un entrepôt de marchandises. Il fut racheté par la ville en 1975 et le musée apparut en 1977. En 2007, la ville a accepté d'acheter le bâtiment proche pour permettre au musée de s'étendre. Ce nouveau bâtiment date de 1880 et dispose d'une surface de 3 400 m2 sur cinq étages. (fr)
