The Delaware Museum of Nature & Science, located in the Wilmington, Delaware region, is a nonprofit institution that reimagines its galleries and public spaces to emphasize interactive, ecosystem-based science education. Its mission centers on serving as a regional leader in both formal and informal science learning, with a focus on engaging visitors in discovering and understanding the natural world. Upstairs, the institution maintains extensive collections of mollusks and birds, including a large birds’ eggs collection, which attract researchers from around the world who study specimens and request loans for their work. The organization relies on support from members, donors, and corporate sponsors to sustain its exhibits and educational programming, operating within the broader museums and cultural institutions sector. The museum has pursued a notable capital campaign to fund this metamorphosis and to upgrade its galleries and public spaces, reflecting a strategic shift away from traditional taxidermy-based displays toward more interactive experiences.
