UNSM has been proud to provide free educational materials to our community during these challenging times. We’ve been fortunate thus far in maintaining all our Museum and Education staff. However, our physical doors have been closed for over two months with no incoming revenue. We’re offering our virtual field trips for free so everyone has an opportunity to participate. However, if you’re able, we would appreciate you considering a donation to help keep this program going. No gift is too small. Thank you for your support.

Sparking people's interest in the natural world and preserving it for future generations. That is our philosophy at the University of Nebraska State Museum. Established in 1871, the University
of Nebraska State Museum is an active research museum. We are known for our paleontological
collections, especially our iconic hall of ancient elephants, yet we also
maintain over 13 million specimens, ethnographic and archeological
objects. The museum is focused on promoting discovery in natural science, and
fostering scientific understanding and interpretation of the Earth’s
past, present and future through world-class exhibits, collections,
special events, and education. The Museum is a
proud Smithsonian Affiliate and is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.
