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.
