Q?rius (pronounced "curious") is an interactive and experimental learning space that brings the unique assets of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History — the science, researchers, and collections — out from behind the scenes. Visitors can use microscopes, handle some of the 6,000 collection objects, solve science puzzles, do touchscreen activities, and even meet a scientist. In Q?rius, visitors can unleash their curiosity with surprising results.

Coralyn W. Whitney
In April 2015, Q?rius was named The Coralyn W. Whitney Science Education Center, in honor of Dr. Coralyn Whitney. A long-time donor of the Museum, Dr. Whitney’s generous support — the Museum’s largest education donation to date — ensures that the Center and its related programming continue to impact audiences for years to come.
