Museum Mission The Museum of Long Island Natural Sciences is associated with the Geosciences Department at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, Long Island, New York. Its mission is to promote education, research, and public service in the natural sciences. In this context, the Museum: provides science education programs to the community, public schools, and general public through lectures, seminars, exhibits, films, publications, and special projects; promotes science literacy and serves as a catalyst for continued exploration in the natural sciences; and acts as a community resource on issues of science and the environment through timely dissemination of information and provision of learning opportunities for the public and other organizations, agencies and institutions.
