Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History

Mission
The mission of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History is to present the story of the cultural crossroads of the New World. With a unique confluence of natural history, science, people and environments, the South Texas area has served as a stage for the ongoing discovery of the Americas. Through innovative programs in history, culture, and science, the Museum is committed to enlarging a shared understanding of our history and heritage as well as the impact and importance of science to our lives. By telling this story, the Museum will inspire a thirst for knowledge, context, and understanding.
