overview : As the oldest cultural organization on Staten Island, SIIAS has been instrumental in the founding of many of the cultural and environmental organizations that now exist on Staten Island. -- Founded in 1881, SIIAS’ mission was influenced by the ideals of that time, which championed enlightened citizenship. We continue our founders’ vision by focusing our efforts on educational programming and exhibitions where display objects are both physically and intellectually accessible. As New York’s only general interest museum, we exhibit, interpret and preserve our two million natural science specimens, artworks, historical objects, archival documents, photographs, and books for current and future generations.
