A major change is on the way for the Carnegie Science Center because of a “transformational gift. Officials with the Carnegie Science Center gathered Tuesday, announcing that the museum had been gifted $65 million. It’s the largest gift the Carnegie Institute has received since its founding in 1895. “It’s truly transformation for the Science Center in that it will allow us to implement our vision, not only for today’s generation but for generations to come,” said Jason Brown, Director and Vice President, Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. “This gift will pave the way for countless kids and adults to embark on their personal journey of discovery and curiosity here at the Science Center.” The gift will help the Science Center increase its endowment, provide greater opportunity to innovate and strengthen its role in science education. The gift comes from the hands of Dan and Carole Kamin, who brown says epitomizes the Science Center’s mission of connecting “people and science, igniting curiosity that endures for a lifetime.” In recognition of the gift and in honor of their generosity, Brown announced that the museum is being renamed to the Daniel G. and Carole L. Kamin Science Center. (Photo: Carnegie Science Center)
