Considered one of the finest institutions of its kind in North America, the museum offers an incredible visitor experience, attracting roughly 275,000 visitors a year. There are more than 140 public education programs and over 80,000 students served annually. The museum employs about 160 people. Building on its strong foundation of excellence in education and research, the museum is poised to transform itself. The museum will invite and engage a broader audience in the exploration of science and the natural world by revolutionizing the way it presents natural history. The museum has launched a capital campaign to support a dramatic renovation and expansion of its facilities and exhibits. This ambitious plan will position the museum to play a leading role in regional and national efforts to improve science education.
