The William and Charlotte Bloomberg Public Science Common is a new space at the Museum of Science in Boston. It opened to the public on October 10, 2026.
It is a 10,000-square-foot immersive venue that juts out over the Charles River. Video projections and movable LED walls change the room, and the museum says visitors can explore dinosaur fossils and walk across the surface of Mars.
Beyond the immersive experiences, the museum lists daily programming, interactive robots and evening events with scientists. What is on changes by the day, so check the Museum of Science website for the schedule before you go.
The Common is part of the Museum of Science at 1 Science Park, Boston. For admission, hours and the vacation-week programs the museum runs in December and February, see the Museum of Science listing and its winter vacation page on GOkidOZ.
