The Science Museum of Western Virginia is a science museum located in Roanoke, Virginia.

[1] Exhibit themes include the environment and its health, healthy bodies, computer coding, the scientific method of engineering, and science through toys and amusements.

The museum also features a maker space and a garden with a variety of plants with a focus on agriculture.

Originally housed in the 400 square foot basement of Cherry Hill, a multi-cultural center in South Roanoke, it moved in 1976 to the abandoned Tinker Creek School, a 3,000 square-foot building built during World War I.
