THE RESPONSIBLE COMPANY FOR EVERYONE®
Inspiring Curiosity Today While Sustaining Tomorrow

Since 1946, the Museum of Life and Science has inspired curiosity and learning through science, nature, and animal exhibits. Located in Durham, North Carolina, the 84-acre campus includes a two-story science center, one of the largest butterfly conservatories on the East Coast, and immersive outdoor exhibits.

Sustainability is a core part of the Museum’s mission and operations. Organization staff works to reduce environmental impact through multiple efforts like water conservation, recycling and waste management programs, sustainable exhibit design, and partnering with Recover on sustainable gift shop merchandise.

"At the Museum of Life and Science, we know that change starts with aligning people around a common vision to do better. With this in mind, we are proud to work with Recover Brands and offer their sustainable and socially responsible merchandise in our stores!" - Krista Cooper, Director of Retail Operations

By combining hands-on learning that sparks imagination, creativity, and new ways of thinking about our world and environmental sustainability, the Museum continues to foster a deeper connection between people, science, and the natural world while building a more sustainable future.
