In 2025, your generous support of the Museum brought science and history to life for thousands of guests. Because of you, we will continue to spark curiosity and empower the next generation of explorers.

This matching challenge is made possible through the generosity of the late philanthropist Eugene H. Bouligny and his spouse Carmen Rodriguez. Their generosity continues to uplift our community. 

We aspire to cultivate a community in which discoveries lead to lifelong passions for understanding the past, exploring the present, and imagining a brighter future. Our work is not bound to race, age, or faith, but by a nuanced understanding that the complexities of the past and present and the possibilities of the future are woven together and that we all play a role in creating what’s next. Though we are a science and history museum dedicated to preserving objects and stories of the past, we stand together facing forward.

To engage our community in the active exploration of science, history, and innovation in the Corpus Christi and Coastal Bend region.
