This museum is a history and archeology museum interpreting over 12,000 years of human experience in the Arkansas River Valley of western Arkansas. The interpretation plan covers eleven counties. The Museum is currently occupying parts of two buildings on the campus of Arkansas Tech University, Tucker Hall and the Techionery. Exhibits are available in three galleries and the Museum offers a number of educational tour activities for school groups, evening lectures each year, and a March Arkansas Archeology Month open house each year. Collections now number over 110,000 items; a small research library is available on site.

The Museum of Discovery is Little Rock's oldest museum, one of science, history, and technology. We're primarily a hands-on museum for all ages and have a wide variety of exhibits and programs to interest a broad range of visitors. You don't have to be a child, have a child, or even accompany one to have fun while you learn at the Museum of Discovery. MOD develops and rents our own traveling exhibits as well as leasing them for our own institution, so something is always changing at the Museum!
