At the KU Natural History Museum we study the life of the planet for the benefit of the earth and its inhabitants. As a part of the KU Biodiversity Institute, we are at the forefront of biodiversity research — discovering, documenting, and disseminating knowledge of life on earth, past and present.
The museum offers gallery activities and hands-on science workshops for school groups [10], public science events and summer camps [11] for young people. Annually, about 50,000 people visit the museum's exhibit galleries in Dyche Hall [12] on KU's Lawrence campus. The exhibits [13] include birds, mammals, live snakes, a working bee hive, Bug Town, Explore Evolution, dinosaurs and fossils, the world's largest diorama, and Comanche, a horse that survived the battle of Little BigHorn.
We invite you to learn more about the museum [14], sign up for our newsletter [7] and explore our research [15].
