$Curator Conversations \u2013 The What, How, and Why of the Museum Animal Collections$

Visitors to the Museum Galleries can see hundreds of animal specimens from the Zoology collections on exhibit, but these represent only a small fraction of over 125,000 research specimens held in our vaults. Dr. Randall Mooi, Curator of Zoology, will give a virtual tour of what is in the animal collections, and discuss how the Museum obtained them, and why they are important in conservation initiatives and what roles they play in understanding our natural world, both in scientific research and education.
