Collectors' Day at the Museum of Natural History

Collectors from our My Collections exhibition series are back! This family-friendly, fair-style event encourages self-exploration throughout all galleries and celebrates collecting through community, storytelling, and appreciation. Guests get to interact with collectors/collections, participate in special activities, observe special demonstrations, and gather stamps and prizes along the way.
Start in Iowa Hall (where Rusty the Giant Sloth lives...) to locate the Museum Welcome and Wayfinding Table. Staff will fill you in on all you need to know and give you your own guide to find the collector tables scattered throughout the museum. Explore, interact, collect stamps, and return to where you started for a prize!
Full list of participating collectors:
- Kendall Family PEZ Collection by Bryan and Erin Kendall
- Adventure Rocks! by Laura, Elliot, and Grant Sievert (don't miss the special geode cracking demonstrations outside at 1 & 2pm!)
