The new U-M Museum of Natural History is now open — with even more exhibits opening on Sunday, November 10, 2019.

But don't just expect a bunch of old bones.

Embedded among the labs at U-M's new Biological Sciences Building, the museum doesn't just preserve the past; it also shows off the latest in scientific research with interactive exhibits, new programming spaces, and a state-of-the-art Planetarium & Dome Theater!

In other words, you've got to see this!
