The Scott Family Amazeum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, interactive children's museum of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) based experiences for families located in Bentonville, Arkansas, USA.
The name "Amazeum" was the result of a brainstorming session, in which children combined the words “Amazing” and “Museum".
[1] Discussions among community leaders of creating a children's museum in Northwest Arkansas began in the early 2000s, with the early group obtaining 501(c)(3) non-profit status in 2006.
[2] Major fundraising was conducted for nearly a decade prior to the opening of the museum.
[3][4][5] The 52,000-square-foot entire facility has earned LEED Silver certification and is designed to show how the building is constructed as much as possible, with exposed supports and connections.
