Albert Einstein could have chosen to live nearly anywhere when he left Germany in 1933 but he selected Princeton, New Jersey as his new hometown.

Now, more than 65 years after his death, it is time to immortalize his achievements with a museum in Princeton.

Join us as we create the Princeton Einstein Museum of Science (PEMS), the only museum outside of Europe dedicated to his legacy. From a video immersion room explaining aspects of gravity to hands-on exhibits about his greatest discoveries, and from a look at Einstein’s ardent humanitarian efforts to how he lived his daily life, PEMS aims to be lively, fun, educational, and in the end, highly inspirational.

PEMS will inspire future physicists, mathematicians, and cosmologists by bringing the wonder of Dr. Einstein’s methods and insights to the world.

The museum will be in a new building to be constructed in the Princeton Central Business District. The exact location will be announced in early 2024. After fundraising, construction, and exhibit installation, we expect PEMS to welcome its first Einstein fans in late 2026. Stay tuned!
