Our Purpose
TO EMPOWER HEALTHIER LIVING

Illegal drugs are an ever-present threat in American society.

Our newest exhibit, in patnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), is designed to shed light on the science of drug addiction and the costs of drug misuse to individuals, families, communities and society, and to provide context on how we can make a difference.

Through artifacts, exhibits, historical details, science content, and video and interactive stations, the exhibit provides a powerful look at one of the biggest issues facing America today.
