Welcome to the Science of Sculpture Kit!

For this kit, we will be looking at sculpture! Sculptures are works of art that are three-dimensional, meaning you can measure their length, width, and height. In this kit, you will learn about two artists who make sculptures that are inspired by science, you’ll learn how to make some sculptural creations of your own, and you will have an opportunity to apply your knowledge in an extension activity. We look forward to seeing your beautiful creations. With permission from an adult, you can share your final projects on social media using #MyMuseumKit.
