Mission :
To connect North Carolinians of all ages with the world around them by inspiring interest in our ever-evolving global society and how it touches their lives here at home.

With an emphasis on life-long learning in international education, we create an environment through exhibits, programs, and films, where visitors become better prepared to work, live and prosper in the world today and into the future.

About Us :
Exploris! We're an interactive museum about the world, and we're glad to share this "virtual visit" with you.

Let's take a moment to consider how much the world has changed in the last several years. People and places that once seemed so far away are now much closer to our lives here in North Carolina - or anywhere in the United States. We are in touch with our global neighborhood through images and communications from around the world.

We are truly connected as never before.

And Exploris is a great place for visitors of all ages to explore these connections and share the wonder of the world all around us. Through our museum, IMAX theatre, and middle school (as well as programs for school children, adult community forums and our website), Exploris presents a wonderful array of experiences so the world feels close enough to touch.
