Pavers
The Legacy Paving Stones program is a remarkable way to contribute to the Gateway Science Museum and be remembered by community members and visitors from all over the world.
The architecture of the entire entryway to the museum is a striking and dominant part of the museum, including an outdoor amphitheater and entry wall.
A key feature of the museum’s entryway is the Founder’s Plaza, which showcases the timeless stone pavers.
There are only a limited number of stone pavers available in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so show your support of the museum by buying a stone paver for yourself or as a lifetime gift for a loved one. The Gateway Science Museum may be the perfect place to leave your family's legacy.
We have increased the number of characters you can fit on your paver.
8 x 8 inch pavers are $500
Up to 3 lines of 14 characters each
8 x 16 inch pavers are $1,000
Up to 4 lines of 24 characters each
To purchase your paver, print out the order form (PDF) and return to the museum with your donation (remember the character and line counts as listed above). This donation is tax deductible.
