Research and Collections tour

Mondays, 11 a.m.

Step beyond our exhibits and into the heart of our scientific work. 

We are the stewards of a collection of more than 2 million objects that span Earth's history. Kept in a climate-controlled storage area affectionately called The Vault, these specimens and artifacts provide data points that illustrate millennia of natural life. Take a behind-the-scenes look at some of these fantastic objects during a staff-led tour of our state-of-the-art facilities.

Each tour will explore a different facet of our extensive body of work. Seize this chance to not only see our collections and research behind the scenes, but also meet the scientists doing the work. Tours are limited to 10 participants for a more personalized experience, so don’t wait on securing your spot for this one-of-a-kind learning opportunity.
