University of California Museum of Paleontology, Natural history museum in Berkeley, United States
The University of California Museum of Paleontology houses over 5 million fossil specimens within the Valley Life Sciences Building at Berkeley campus.
The museum's initial collection originated from fossils gathered during the California Geological Survey between 1860 and 1867, leading to its formal establishment in 1921.
The museum integrates research facilities, educational programs, and digital resources to advance the understanding of Earth's biological history through extensive specimen collections.
While the museum primarily serves research purposes, visitors can view selected fossil displays including a Tyrannosaurus skeleton on the first floor of Valley Life Sciences Building.
The museum maintains one of North America's largest university-based paleontological collections, representing specimens from every continent and major organism group.
