 Since
1856, when Dr. George
Engelmann, James B.
Eads and other prominent
visionaries of the
day formed the Academy
of Science in St.
Louis, it has been
a leader in the advancement
and integration of
science and technology
into contemporary
society. From its
rich history as a
science museum (most
recently at Oak Knoll
Park as the Museum
of Science and Natural
History) to the realization
of a longstanding
goal by taking the
lead in the development
of a “well-equipped
and suitable science
center” for
St. Louis, the Academy
has always been able
to focus its resources
for maximum return.
Today, Academy resources
are entirely mission
focused, on expanded
scientific outreach,
education, resource
sharing, and the recognition
of scientific accomplishment.
Academy partners include
every scientific sector—academic,
public, corporate
and private—from
a broad range of science,
medicine, engineering
and technology concerns.
