Visiting the Museum

We are currently open to members of the UC Davis and research communities who are vaccinated and/or have had a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours per UC Davis policy. We need to focus on training our new interns and safely greeting the new UC Davis students first before we can open to the general public. Our store is on-line and items can be shipped or picked up curbside on Friday mornings. Please contact us by email at bmuseum[at]ucdavis.edu.

Visiting the Museum

We are closed to the public until further notice. Fall 2021 is the best estimate of when we can open to the public.

Individuals, families, and friends are welcome to visit for free, but donations are always welcome. Our museum is an active work area, so don't be surprised if you see someone sorting insects at a microscope or creating labels on a computer. You are welcome to ask them what they are doing! But please:

Use inside voices
Wear shoes
Keep an open mind. Say things like "How interesting!" instead of "Yuck!" or "Gross!"
Children under 30" or 76 cm (the length of our standard insect nets) may not pull out drawers themselves. This is in addition to caregivers using their best judgement.

If you are part of a group (e.g. scouts, school, retirement community, service club), please learn more about our fee-based tour options.

***Researchers - Please contact the museum about your on-going research needs.
