The Museum of Nature & Science announced that it has not only surpassed its $185 million goal to build the new Perot Museum of Nature & Science but achieved the milestone more than a year before the doors open to the Victory Park facility. The announcement came just minutes after Museum leaders revealed that The Moody Foundation had contributed $6 million to name the Children’s Museum and the education Forum at the new Perot Museum of Nature & Science.
“Despite the challenges of raising money during an extremely tough economic environment, the importance of science education and the desire to invest in our future prevailed. The North Texas community has warmly embraced our mission, and, consequently, we have exceeded the $185 million goal to build the Perot Museum of Nature & Science,” said Forrest Hoglund, chair of the Perot Museum of Nature & Science Expansion Campaign.
