Launching A New Chapter

Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory is in an exciting season of growth. While our historic building is temporarily closed for renovation through June 2026, our mission has not slowed down.

Looking Ahead

These updates to our space will allow us to improve accessibility, expand educational and cultural programming and deepen the connection between science and the arts.

We are looking forward to strengthening community connections and preparing a space that will better serve Middle Tennessee.  

Thank you for being a part of our journey.
