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.
