Available in May and June 2019

Bring your students for a “Sneak Peek” of the museum’s galleries that will open to the public on April 14, 2019!

A Sneak Peek program includes admission to the exhibits, a host to greet your group, and at least one gallery hands-on cart.

During this period, your class or group will be able to explore the new Evolution: Life through Time gallery, On the Trail of Mastodons exhibit, the Science Forum (a new presentation space where visitors can meet U-M scientists), the Planetarium & Dome Theater, our Community Room, the Museum Store, and more!

Coming in Fall 2019

Registration will open in late May for the fall of 2019

In addition to the Sneak Peek, groups can schedule programs in one of two hands-on Investigate Labs where students can do what scientists do.

• The Nature Lab will focus on collections-based science, featuring objects from paleontology, anthropology, zoology, botany, and geology, and highlighting ecology and evolutionary biology.

• The Micro Worlds Lab will feature opportunities for visitors to inquire into molecular, cellular, and developmental biology using microscopes and other scientific tools.

Coming in November

The entire museum will be open with the addition of Exploring Michigan, Under the Microscope, and People and the Planet galleries.
