Bring Your Students to the New Museum!
Through its exhibits and programs, the new U-M Museum of Natural History provides access to the scientific resources of the University of Michigan.
The museum also offers educational programs for schools and other community groups using inquiry-based styles of teaching. Children are invited to look, touch, and question, with the exhibits as focal points. Our programs support state curriculum guidelines.
2019 is a transitional year for the museum. We open to the public on April 14 with additional exhibit and programming spaces opening in the fall. Our school and group programs will be evolving throughout the year.
Be sure you’re on our mailing list to learn about the latest offerings.

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.
