Children's Museum of Science and Technology
The Children's Museum of Science and Technology (CMOST) was a science museum for children in Troy, New York. The museum had various exhibits, including almost 100 living animals. The museum did not admit adults unless accompanied by children.
History
The museum opened as The Junior Museum in 1954, a museum containing hands-on exhibits for children housed in the basement of the Rensselaer Historical Society. The museum relocated three times until it finally moved to the Rensselaer Technology Park and re-branded as the Children's Museum of Science and Technology. The Museum permanently closed at the RPI Tech Park location at 250 Jordan Road in March 2020 as a result of the pandemic. In 2022 CMOST merged with the Children's Museum at Saratoga, who took on the management of CMOST's outreach education programs.
