Welcome to The Leonardo-Science--formerly the Utah Science Center
The Utah Science Center (USC) is now known as The Leonardo—Science, the science focus of The Leonardo (www.theleonardo.org). Opening in 2010 in the newly remodeled old Salt Lake City Main Public Library Building on Library Square, The Leonardo will take interactivity and personal involvement to an entirely new level. Targeted to all who will respond to being treated as adults, The Leonardo will involve and empower its visitors to be participants – helping to enhance its exhibits and improve its programs. You are more than a visitor – you are more than a participant; you will help create, enhance, and design the experience.
Hundreds of volunteers have worked for many years to design exhibits, activities, and programs.
Our three ongoing science-intensive programs help provide the experience and the foundation for truly unique and substantive science related programs.
The Leonardo's programs will enable an effective and comprehensive art, culture, and science experience for all participants.
Welcome to The Leonardo—Science’s current programs—and to its plans for opening in 2010.
