The Sacramento Museum of History, Science and Technology, also known as the Discovery Museum, is a non-profit organization, and operates two separate sites under a joint agreement between the City of Sacramento and Sacramento County:

• The Discovery Museum History Center in Old Sacramento features exhibits that showcase Sacramento's vibrant history, with a focus on the great Gold Rush of 1849. Located in the replicated 1854 City Hall and Waterworks Building, the History Center houses thousands of historical artifacts and several hands-on activity stations for your children or grandchildren. Interactive programs and demonstrations all come together to help you explore and discover your past, present and future.
  
  
• The Discovery Museum Science & Space Center in north Sacramento is located on 14 acres of natural parkland with Heritage Oak trees and a wildlife pond. The Museum is home to the Challenger Space Program and Sacramento's only public planetarium. Inside, you will find a nature room with live animals, reptiles and insects on display. Exhibits include hands-on "exploration stations" that focus on the natural sciences, geology, space programs and wild animals.

The Discovery Museums are funded by both the City and County of Sacramento.
