Specifics on the next open house: Sunday, October 5 will be a wonderful time to welcome visitors, including UC Davis students, to learn about entomology, the Bohart Museum, and the fundamentals of a collections-based research museum. Between the hours of 1:00 - 4:00 pm visitors are welcome to visit part of our collection, and learn how and why insects are studied. There will also be live insects to hold and a craft table, so all ages will find something engaging. Visitors can choose to stay for 15 minutes or 3 hours. The closest parking lot is Lot 46 and it is free on the weekend. There is no registration required. If you have questions, please contact bmuseum@ucdavis.edu
