Discovery Times Square (also known asDiscovery TSX) was an exhibition space at 226 West 44th Street inNew York City that opened June 24, 2009 and closed in September 2016. It specialized in traveling exhibitions with 60,000 square feet of exhibition space.^[1] It was one of several exhibition spaces that catered toTimes Square tourists (the others beingMadame Tussauds andRipley's Believe It or Not!).

Operated byDiscovery Communications and Running Subway Productions, it was located inTimes Square in the basement in the former printing plant area of229 West 43rd Street.^[1] Its goal was "to create a home for traveling exhibitions that local museums might find either too large, too expensive, too nondisciplinary or too commercial for their nonprofit attention."^[2]

The President of Discovery Times Square was James Sanna.^[3] The museum had two directors, Guy Gsell from opening through November 2011^[4] and Jim Arnemann from 2011 through closing.^[5] Discovery closed without public notice in September 2016.
