Storytime with Josh

Josh Avsec, the museum's Associate Director of Museum Experience and a Cleveland-born zoologist, leads this engaging storytime series. He shares fascinating tales about incredible animals, remote habitats, and the science that explains the natural world. Josh's enthusiasm for making science accessible and exciting to young learners really shines through in these sessions. Each Friday gathering takes place in the Corning Gallery and features a children's book paired with museum artifacts and science topics designed to spark curiosity. The program is included with general admission to the museum, making it an affordable way to introduce your kids to scientific thinking through storytelling. It's perfect for children who love animals and nature, and who enjoy interactive, educational experiences.
