CHECK OUT THE MUSEUM COLLECTIONS

Natural history specimens in collections are usually described in a standardized way that enables specialists and researchers to easily find what they are looking for and to link it with data from other sources. Sometimes they may not be looking for anything in particular but are simply checking out the kind of information the database contains. Speculation, curiosity, or intellectual play can then spark their interest to delve deeper and explore more detailed and targeted information.

 

The collections of a natural sciences museum are representative of the natural world, that is, they are diverse and ever-changing. The Museum has set up several resources, each with a separate purpose, so that you can find out as much as you want to about the collections.
