  • The Lemelson Center, also known as the Jerome and Dorothy Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation, was established as part of the National Museum of American History in 1995. It was founded by engineer, inventor, and philanthropist, Jerome Lemelson and his wife, Dorothy. The Lemelson Center leds the study of invention and innovation at the Smithsonian Institution, empowering the public to solve problems, navigate challenges, and effect real change in their lives and communities. Lemelson Center activities draw on the Smithsonian's vast collections of artifacts and archival materials, advance scholarship on the history of invention, share stories about inventors and their work, and nurture creativity in young people. Arthur P. Molella served as its founding Director, 1995-2015, and Arthur Daemmrich began his tenure as Director in August 2015.
