Atlas Science Center

The Atlas Science Center, formerly Paper Discovery Center, is 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.
