Details
Psychology is all around us! The Cummings Center's National Museum of Psychology invites visitors of all ages to explore psychological science and our shared human experience. Interactive exhibits spotlight intelligence and personality, mental health care, sensation and perception, Stanley Milgram's obedience studies, the Stanford Prison Experiment, and more.
The Cummings Center is also home to the Archives of the History of American Psychology (open by appointment only), the world's largest collection of material related to psychology and related sciences. We share our 3rd and 4th floors with the Institute for Human Science and Culture, a hands-on humanities center featuring its own unique galleries and events.
