Ohio Valley Museum of Discovery's Mission
To inspire confidence in people of all ages to explore and discover the world.
Teen Science Café is back!
Welcome to OVMoD
At the Ohio Valley Museum of Discovery (OVMoD), we believe that hands-on, playful learning with family and friends builds confidence and resilience for success in the future. We are powered by STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and strive to be a catalyst in our communities for inspiring young minds, nurturing a lifelong passion for learning, and cultivating the future generation of innovators and critical thinkers. OVMoD is a hands-on discovery museum for visitors of all ages located in Athens, Ohio and delivers education programming across more than seven counties in the beautiful rolling Appalachian foothills of southeast Ohio.
