Primate Collection

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History began collecting primate specimens early in the last century. Some of the specimens were collected by Museum expeditions to Central America and Africa during the 1920’s and 1930’s. Since then, local zoos have also donated specimens to be documented, macerated and preserved for the future. Future donations of primate material to the museum will be added to this collection as the Hamann-Todd Collection is a closed collection, meaning that we no longer accept any new specimens to add to this collection.
