Atlas Science Center
The Atlas Science Center, formerly Paper Discovery Center, was a museum and workshop center focused on papermaking.[1] in Appleton, Wisconsin, United States,[2] where paper is an important local industry.
Programs in the past have included hands-on work experience, tours, and general information on papermaking. There is a Science Summer Series for children at the center.[3]
The Paper Discovery Center opened in February 2005.[1] It was first conceived in 1999 as part of the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame, Inc.[4] The Kimberly-Clark Corporation donated its former Atlas Mill on the Fox River in Appleton to house the center.
In November 2024, the center announced it would be closing and selling the property. It also announced plans to donate some assets to the Appleton Children's Museum[5]
