About Sloan Museum of Discovery and Longway Planetarium
Sloan Museum of Discovery and Longway Planetarium are overseen by the non-profit Flint Institute of Science and History (F.I.S.H) with a shared mission to engage communities on a learning journey in history and science. Located within the Flint Cultural Center Campus in Flint, Michigan, Sloan Museum of Discovery opened July 16, 2022, with four primary hands-on learning galleries and one exhibition hall for special traveling exhibits. The original Sloan Museum opened in 1966 as the Sloan Panorama of Transportation, named after long-time General Motors president, chairman and CEO Alfred P. Sloan. The new Sloan Museum of Discovery is nearly twice the size at 107,000 square feet and completely re-built into a re-imagined world-class, hands-on science and history museum. It is supported in part by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and Michigan Arts and Culture Council (MACC). Sloan Museum of Discovery programs are funded in part by the Genesee County Arts Education and Cultural Enrichment Millage. Learn more at www.SloanLongway.org .
