FLINT, MI-- The new Sloan Museum of Discovery will nearly double in size during a $26.5 million renovation that includes interactive science and history galleries.
The museum is set to open in late fall of 2021 with construction slated to start July 1. Plans for the interactive and inclusive museum were unveiled at a ground breaking on Wednesday, June 12.
Sloan Museum of Discovery will feature re-imagined Flint history galleries, a hands-on science Discovery Hall and Early Childhood Gallery.
The project is nearly funded, about 85 percent, and is seeking additional funding through a Million Dollar Match. All contributions made before December 31 will be matched two to one by the C.S. Mott Foundation, up to $1 million.

Sloan Museum has been closed for over a year already as they empty the building in preparation for the renovation. It is currently operating out of the Courtland Center mall.
It's going to be quite the renovation, with a much needed upgrade to the building's facade and entrances. They are also filling in the inner courtyard.
