You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Buffalo Museum of Science''' is a [[science]] museum located at [[Martin Luther King Jr. Park]] in [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], [[New York (state)|New York]], United States, northeast of the downtown district, near the [[New York State Route 33|Kensington Expressway]].  The historic building was designed by [[August Esenwein]] and [[James A. Johnson (architect)|James A. Johnson]] and opened on January 19, 1929. It gave a permanent home to the exhibits that started to be collected by the Buffalo Young Men's Association (founded 1836), which had passed them to its 1861 creation, the Buffalo Natural History Society,<ref>((Cite journal |first=Paul Marshall |last=Rea |date=October 1910 |title=A Directory of American Museums |journal=Bulletin of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences |location=Buffalo, New York |volume=X |issue=1 |page=188 |oclc=297278075 |url=https://archive.org/details/bulletinofbuf10191012buff/page/188/mode/2up |access-date=2023-09-14 |via=[[Internet Archive#Text collection|Internet Archive text collection]] |url-access=limited |quote=The Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences - Historical Sketch))</ref> with [[George W. Clinton]] chosen as the Society's first president.

The attractions of the Buffalo Museum of Science include exhibits showcasing [[animal]]s, [[astronomy]], the science of technology, and additional science topics.

==Exhibitions==

===Explorations===
Explorations is an interactive gallery for children ages two to seven featuring new themes every month.

===Explore You Science Studio===
Explore You is a health systems science studio. The space was remodeled and opened in March 2012. The interactive exhibit gives a hands-on approach to health, exploring topics such as healthy choices, body systems, the heart, medical technology, genetics, and related research done in [[Western New York]]. It is sponsored by prominent local health insurance company Independent Health.

===Rethink Extinct Science Studio===
The Rethink Extinct Science Studio opened in March 2015 as remodel of the previous Extinction Gallery. This exhibit focuses on all aspects of extinction throughout the history of life on this planet including present-day extinctions and endangered plants and animals.

The Extinction Gallery was a collection of [[fossils]] and cultural pieces relating to organisms that have gone extinct on the planet.  [[Biological specimen|Specimens]] include 50-million-year-old [[birds]], [[feathers]] and [[flowers]], the earliest known land plant, a [[trilobite]] trapped in a [[seashell]] nearly 400 million years ago, a cast of a ''[[Tyrannosaurus rex]]'' skull, a [[compression fossil]] replica of  ''[[Archaeopteryx]],'' [[Triceratops|''Triceratops horridus'']], ''[[Deinonychus|Deinonychus antirrhopus]]'', and ''[[Allosaurus fragilis]]''. Many of the pieces in this exhibit come from the previous Dinosaurs and Co. space at the museum. In addition, a specimen of [[Albertosaurus|''Albertosaurus sarcophagus'']] (nicknamed "Stanley") is displayed in the first floor lobby next to admissions.

===Nano===
Nano is an interactive exhibition that engages family audiences in nanoscale science, engineering, and technology. Hands-on exhibits present the basics of nanoscience and engineering, introduce some real world applications, and explore the societal and ethical implications of this new technology.

===Other exhibitions===
Additional exhibitions include the Buffalo in Space Science Studio (opened in 2017), the Artifacts Science Studio (opened in March 2014), the In Motion Science Studio (opened in 2013), the Our Marvelous Earth Science Studio (opened in 2012), and the Bug Works Science Studio (opened in 2013).

In 2010 the museum began an extensive renovation campaign, the goal of which was to convert the old diorama based exhibits into interactive Science Studios. This campaign culminated with the renovation and reopening of the Kellogg Observatory in July 2018

==Previous exhibits==

===Whem Ankh: The Cycle of Life in Ancient Egypt===
Whem Ankh was an exhibit running from 1998 to 2013 displaying [[Artifact (archaeology)|artifacts]] from the daily life as lived on the banks of the lower [[Nile River]] 2,200 years ago. Over 250 artifacts are included in the collection, including the [[mummies]] of Nes-hor and of Nes-min, [[priests]] in the [[temple]] of the [[Egypt]]ian [[fertility]] god [[Min (god)|Min]], and the [[coffin]] of Djed-hor-ef-ankh.

Intended as a temporary exhibit, it was made permanent due to its initial popularity, which it enjoyed through most of its tenure. Whem Ankh closed in July 2013, and was replaced by the "Artifacts" exhibit in March 2014.<ref>((Cite web |date=2014-03-09 |title=Home Page :: Buffalo Museum of Science |url=http://www.sciencebuff.org:80/ |access-date=2023-12-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140309175105/http://www.sciencebuff.org:80/ |archive-date=2014-03-09 ))</ref>

===Marchand Hall of Wildflowers===
The Marchand Hall of [[Wildflowers]] displayed numerous wax models of species of plant life created throughout several decades by [[naturalist]]s George and Paul Marchand.

==Additional features==
The museum also features the National Geographic 3D Cinema, Elements Café, and the Curiosity Shop.
