The Museum relies on you—our visitors, members, and donors—to continue our mission.
In December 2024, the Museum will celebrate the Grand Opening of more than 375,000 square feet of new and expanded galleries—showcasing specimens and scientific discoveries in ways that will inspire and educate all who visit.
Your generous contributions support our efforts to uncover new fossils, advance our research, and share our findings with the public. Together, we can continue to make remarkable discoveries and inspire future generations of scientists.
There are many ways to support the Museum, and we’re happy to help you find one that’s right for you. Your gift can help protect the natural world, champion leadership for a sustainable future, and inspire a passion for science and nature.
