Kingman Museum, Natural history museum in Battle Creek, Michigan, United States
The Kingman Museum occupies a building at 175 Limit Street within the Leila Arboretum grounds, featuring exhibits about natural history and space exploration.
Edward M. Brigham established the museum in 1934, making it one of the first museums in the United States owned and operated by a public school system.
The institution maintains several thousand artifacts, including Native American objects, geological specimens, and an extensive collection of animal taxidermy displays.
Due to building maintenance issues, the museum collections are temporarily housed at the Battle Creek Regional History Museum, where exhibits remain accessible to visitors.
The museum holds two specimens of the imperial woodpecker, representing two of only 120 known preserved specimens of this extinct species worldwide.
