History of Impression 5 PDF Print E-mail

Impression 5 Science Center was founded in 1972 by Marilynne Eichinger who also served as the first Executive Director until 1985. It moved into the current location on Museum Drive in downtown Lansing in 1982, and is considered by the community to be one our most important cultural and educational resources. In 1994 the name of the museum was changed to Impression 5 Science Center.  "Impression 5" still refers to the five senses, which are all engaged in the experience of visiting I-5.
