Mayborn Museum Complex, Natural science and cultural history museum at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
The 142,000-square-foot Mayborn Museum Complex contains seventeen themed discovery rooms with exploration stations covering geology, paleontology, and natural history.
The museum evolved from three institutions: the Strecker Museum, dating back to 1856, the Ollie Mae Moen Discovery Center from 1965, and the Governor Bill Daniel Historic Village.
The Historic Village section features nine authentic wood frame buildings that demonstrate the daily routines of a Texas community from the 1890s.
Located at 1300 South University Parks Drive, the museum offers online ticket sales and maintains a dedicated phone line at 254-710-1110 for visitor inquiries.
Walk-in dioramas throughout the natural science wing present the landscapes of prehistoric Central Texas, including a detailed reproduction of the Waco Mammoth Site.
