Natural History Museum of Sugar

Mission Statement

The Natural History Museum of Sugar is dedicated to the investigation of sugar to promote awareness, understanding, and creativity. It serves its audience through the collection, exploration, presentation and interpretation of works of art relating to historical and contemporary issues of sugar. We are an educational institution devoted to the advancement of knowledge about how sugar is utilized, perceived and consumed

Our vision is to be the most significant institution in the Southern California region devoted to the culture of sugar. The NHMOS provides leadership by actively fostering creativity and education and demonstrating their significance in our lives.

The Natural History Museum of Sugar was formed in 2003 as a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit museum. Temporary projects and exhibitions are currently under way while we build our collections and library for a future permanent museum in San Diego. The museum presents topics relating to sugar through visual and didactic exhibitions and interactive displays.

We also foster sugar awareness through brochures, public lectures and a public research library. We provide group activities for young people encouraging creativity and fostering cultural awareness. Our educational program is devoted to providing broad and balanced perspectives about sugar for adults and children.
