THE BISHOP MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND NATURE

THE BISHOP MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND NATURE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE REGION’S EDUCATIONAL, ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL LANDSCAPES. We are grateful to our supporters for making it possible for the Museum to help people understand the world around them through “wow” moments at the Museum and during our programs, learn about Florida’s natural history, explore the universe and help manatees in need.

A gift to The Bishop affects tens of thousands of visitors every year who come from Manatee and Sarasota counties, all 50 states and more than 25 countries. We also provide field trips virtually and at the Museum, in addition to offering a variety of resources for students. The Museum continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of the community and the region.

In response to public health issues created by COVID-19, the Museum added virtual programming and digital resources to its offerings. Our Museum from Home webpage (www.BishopScience.org/museum-from-home/) provides engaging videos for students, parents, home schooling families and curious people of all ages.

New protocols are in place to keep Museum visitors, volunteers and staff as safe as possible. As a private nonprofit, the Museum relies on philanthropy and revenue from admissions and the Museum store to support day-to-day operations. Even though the Museum is open, revenues are dramatically reduced. During this time, support from our community is critically important and very much appreciated.

For information about making a gift, please contact Senior Advancement Officer Declan Sheehy at (941) 746-4131, ext. 149 or DSheehy@BishopScience.org.
