Minnesota Planetarium Society

The Minnesota Planetarium Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring, informing, and educating the public about the Earth and the universe. It operates under the EIN number 20-695760.

The society's mission encompasses enhancing awareness and understanding of astronomical phenomena and their impacts on society. By focusing on education and public engagement, it aims to foster curiosity and appreciation for the wonders of the cosmos.

Notably, the Minnesota Planetarium Society merged with the James Ford Bell Museum of Natural History in 2011, leading to the integration of its resources and expertise into the museum's operations. This collaboration significantly contributed to the development of the Whitney and Elizabeth MacMillan Planetarium, a state-of-the-art facility within the Bell Museum. The planetarium offers a variety of educational programs and immersive experiences that highlight both astronomy and other scientific disciplines.

The society's legacy is now an integral part of the Bell Museum's offerings, which include daily public shows, educational programs, and community events designed to engage diverse audiences in learning about the universe.
