MSI offers numerous opportunities for companies to sponsor exhibits, spaces, events, programs and initiatives.

A sponsorship at MSI delivers a high level of brand visibility to create greater exposure and engagement with your key audiences and generates significant goodwill among the community in support of the Museum’s broad outreach and commitment to science education.

The Museum of Science and Industry has stood as a champion for science and learning since its founding in 1933. Over the past nine decades, MSI has cemented its reputation for inspiring the inventive genius in everyone by becoming the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere. Museums throughout North America have welcomed MSI exhibits, and we are one of Chicago's best-known and most-visited tourist attractions. MSI has steadfastly pursued a goal of motivating children to achieve their full potential in science, technology, medicine and engineering, and has cultivated relationships with schools throughout Chicagoland and extending into North Central Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.

Messaging at MSI has enormous visibility within the building and beyond. The Museum hosts on average 1.4 million guests in its historic building every year. The msichicago.org website welcomed 2.7 million individual visitors in 2021, and mentions and impressions on TV, radio and in newspapers reach almost 3.5 million people as part of the nation’s third-largest designated media market. The Museum also has a fast-growing presence on social media with over 265,000 followers on Facebook, nearly 61,000 on Instagram and a Twitter following surpassing 38,000.

In addition to the high visibility and credibility associated with sponsorship at MSI, we provide a number of concrete benefits that demonstrate our appreciation for your support and which provide your company with access to the Museum's wonders.
