University of Colorado Museum of Natural History, Natural history museum at University of Colorado Boulder, United States.
The University of Colorado Museum of Natural History in Boulder contains five exhibition galleries with fossils, artifacts, and specimens from paleontology, anthropology, and natural sciences. The displays cover a wide range of natural and human subjects relevant to the Rocky Mountain region.
Founded in 1902, the museum grew to become one of the largest natural history collections in the Rocky Mountain region. The institution has continuously expanded its role as a center for research and education over the past century.
The museum serves researchers, students, and visitors who engage directly with original specimens and collections used in ongoing scientific work. You can see how scientists study natural objects and share their findings through the displays.
The museum is located in the Henderson Building on the university campus and is easily accessible by foot. Plan to spend a few hours exploring the galleries and viewing the collections in detail.
The museum displays a plaster cast of a Triceratops skeleton created through a collaborative project with the university's Sustainability, Energy, and Environment Community. This exhibit brings together paleontology and modern scientific techniques.
