Finally an official exhibition space which can hold fascinating large-scale shows right here in the Big Discovery Times Square, which celebrated its fourth anniversary on June 24, hosts traveling exhibitions in their 60,000 square feet of space which explore the world’s culture, art, history and events. The time-sensitive exhibits are designed to be educational, immersive and interactive.

Sponsored by Discovery Communications, the people that bring us the Discovery Channel on cable television, together with Running Subway Productions, a New York based entertainment production company, the stated goal of the museum is "to create a home for traveling exhibitions that local museums might find either too large, too expensive, too non-disciplinary or too commercial for their nonprofit attention."

Discovery Times Square sees itself as much more than just a museum. It is the go-to place for exploration and discovery through “unique and immersive” exhibits in New York.
