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.[1] 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.
