A mission with a museum.

The Cade is more than a museum. We’re on a mission to transform communities with Inventivity! Through our exhibits, programs, and outreach initiatives, we teach people how to think like an inventor and solve problems creatively with curiosity and resilience. We aim to inspire communities throughout Gainesville and beyond, because everyone deserves a chance to see themselves as a bolder, more creative, and more innovative agent of change.

Spark Wonder, Invent Possible.
