At the Schenectady Museum & Suits-Bueche Planetarium, all of our exhibits, programs, and events are designed with our Mission in mind: to inspire a sense of wonder about extraordinary scientific and technological developments: past, present, and future.

The Schenectady Museum & Suits-Bueche Planetarium is a dynamic destination just a short drive from Albany, Saratoga, and Troy which celebrates science, invention, and imagination. The Museum explores the area’s rich technological heritage, with some of the region’s finest interactive exhibits; a must-see for families, tourists, area residents, and other visitors.

The Museum’s Planetarium features the GOTO Star Projector. One of only 12 in the country, the GOTO offers a real-life view of the night sky not available anywhere else in the northeast. The Museum’s Archives include 1.6 million images from the General Electric Photograph Collection, and attracts researchers from across the county and the world. Tours are available. Plus, the Museum Gift Shop offers high-quality, unusual items gifts including hard-to-find science educational toys.
