About this museum
Perched dramatically against the Rocky Mountain foothills, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) offers visitors an immersive exploration of climate science and meteorological research. The architecturally striking building, designed by I.M. Pei, serves as both a research facility and public education center where visitors can freely explore exhibits about atmospheric dynamics and environmental systems. Interactive displays and panoramic windows connect guests with the surrounding landscape, revealing the complex interactions between human scientific inquiry and the natural world.
