​The Cade Museum celebrates invention so in addition to maintaining current social distancing. we are proud to partner with Violet Defense, Orlando-based creators of patented, ultraviolet disinfectant devices that eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. Bolstering the strict cleaning protocols already in place, Violet Defense’s mobile ultraviolet disinfection units - currently utilized in hospitals - will be used throughout the museum. Learn more.

​Spark Wonder. Invent Possible

The Cade Museum engages and inspires by captivating the minds, hearts, and hands of inventors of all ages. We explore STEAM concepts in a unique way, highlighting cutting-edge and emerging technologies, and tracing them back to their original roots of invention.

The museum introduces new themes frequently to excite and educate visitors in a different area of science, invention and creativity.
