Hi Eric-

The Visitors' Center at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, while not technically a science museum, has a series of interactive exhibits & artwork on the first & second floors and a branch of the Cornell University Library system (Adelson Library) on the second floor. The library provides resources for visitors, staff, & students, public access computers, and serves as a venue for book readings, crafts, and art exhibition.
