Welcome to OVMoD


At the Ohio Valley Museum of Discovery (OVMoD), we believe that hands-on, playful learning with family and friends builds confidence and resilience for success in the future. We are powered by STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and strive to be a catalyst in our communities for inspiring young minds, nurturing a lifelong passion for learning, and cultivating the future generation of innovators and critical thinkers. OVMoD is a hands-on discovery museum for visitors of all ages located in Athens, Ohio and delivers education programming across more than seven counties in the beautiful rolling Appalachian foothills of southeast Ohio.
