About

Opened in 2012, the Nature Research Center is the Museum’s new wing. In these exhibits, you can explore not just what we know about the natural world, but how we know it—the tools, techniques, and real live scientists that study the past, present, and future of our planet. From meteorites to mammoths, from deep-sea submersibles to citizen science, the Nature Research Center brings it all to life, right before your eyes.
