Leading The Way

For 90 years, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History has been a dynamic Leader in regional, national and international arenas. Looking forward, we are uniquely positioned to carry on and expand our Leadership for the "next 90 years":

• New Executive Director – Dr. Evalyn Gates and staff are re-focusing the Museum on high priority goals.
• Science – major research programs are pushing the frontiers of science, with many recent exciting discoveries.
• Conservation – 40 preserves and 5,000+ acres of protected habitat in Northern Ohio.
• Education – new classes, distance learning offerings and community outreach programs in health and science.
• Exhibits – three blockbuster exhibitions - Extreme Mammals, Climate Change, and Mythic Creatures - in the next three years.

Join us as we embark on our next 90 years of exceptional science, education and exploration! The Museum's continued success as a leader in research, community outreach and conservation depends on your support of our Annual Fund. For the Museum's new budget year starting July 1, 2011 and running to June 30, 2012, a total goal of $1,100,000 has been set for the Annual Fund.
