University of Michigan Museum of Natural History

Old Bones. New Home.
Opening April 14, 2019!

After migrating to its new home, the U-M Museum of Natural History will open on April 14, 2019, with more exhibits to come in the fall!

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!

Out Of This World

When we open in April, you can see the night sky—and more—like never before, with enhanced brilliance, clarity, and detail! Our state-of-the-art Planetarium & Dome Theater brings new perspectives to even the most familiar celestial bodies, constellations, and phenomena, from the Big Dipper to the northern lights.

New technology also enables us to take visitors beyond space to explore the oceans' reefs, Earth’s geology, weather, and more, all with surround sound and in new, comfortable seats!
