Join the museum's collections staff to explore our natural history collections and archives at our off-site facility and learn about the history of the collection. This tour will highlight rarely seen specimens, share the complex history of the collection, and shed light on scientific research currently being conducted with specimens. You'll get a chance to see everything from study skins of now-extinct passenger pigeons to more modern examples of scientific taxidermy, and learn how both old and new specimens help scientists in their research today.Space is limited.
