Perhaps you’ve seen the interesting new building going up on The Esplanade just north of Bidwell Mansion here in Chico these past few months. That would be the new “Gateway Science Museum” being constructed. According to the museum web site, the facility “will be a state-of-the-art natural history museum celebrating the region’s natural beauty and resources. Permanent and traveling exhibits, as well as education programs for Northern California’s schoolchildren, will further the museum’s mission.” Click here to view more photos, including interior shots, and here for a description of some of the interesting features and exhibits. Legacy paving stones are available to the public and will help fund the construction of this unique building.
