Delaware County Institute of Science (DCIS) was founded in 1833 as a natural history museum and a lending library. For almost 200 years DCIS has been managed and maintained by volunteers in the 1867 building located at the corners of Jasper Street and Veterans Square in Media, PA.
The museum exhibits mounted birds and animals, an herbarium of Delaware County plants and other areas; fossils, shells, and corals from around the world; animal skulls, bird nests and eggs, butterflies, insects, and miscellaneous other collections such as maps as old as 1810, Native American tools and pottery, glass bottles, late 1800’s radios and radio vacuum tubes and microscopes.
DCIS is open to the public on most Thursdays 10 am-1pm. For more information and to schedule a visit, call DCIS at 610-566-5126 or visit https://www.delcoscience.org
