Skeletons: Animals Unveiled, Osteology museum in Orlando, United States

Skeletons: Animals Unveiled is a museum housing over 500 authentic animal skeletons arranged in natural poses. The collection demonstrates anatomical differences between species and how these structures relate to each animal's physical abilities.

Skeletons: Animals Unveiled opened in May 2015 as the second location of the Museum of Osteology, the Oklahoma City museum founded by Jay Villemarette and his family, which opened on October 1, 2010. The Florida branch closed in 2020 and its collections were combined with those in Oklahoma City.

The displays showcase skeletons from animals across different regions, helping visitors understand the variety of life on Earth. You can see how bone structure varies greatly depending on how each animal lives and moves.

The museum sits next to Skulls Unlimited International's offices and processing facilities in Oklahoma City, where specimens are cleaned before articulation. Exhibits cover all five vertebrate classes, with whale skeletons suspended from the ceiling. Scavenger hunts and activities are aimed at children and parents, and visitors may touch bones and photograph fully articulated skeletons.

The museum's specimens are cleaned next door at Skulls Unlimited using dermestid beetles before being articulated and displayed. The humpback whale skeleton, one of twelve fully articulated in North America, washed ashore in 2003, was buried for two years, and appeared on an episode of Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs titled "Skull Cleaner".
