Throughout the summer, Houston Matters is visiting area museums and attractions that we think you might be interested in experiencing in person.

In this next episode, we take you to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, a sprawling four-story science center that attracts millions of visitors each year not only from Houston, but from around the world.

Recently, Houston Matters producer Garrett Bohlmann spoke with Nicole Temple, vice president of education at HMNS. In the audio above, she takes Bohlmann on a tour of the museum and explains how it has evolved over the years.
