Why Are Museum Collections Important? Join us for a conversation with Museum Director, Eric Dorfman, and learn about the significance of the Museum’s collections of natural science specimens. From 1879 through today, the rich history of NCMNS collections gives us perspectives on nature in the past, the present and, most importantly, the future as we work to conserve the planet’s biodiversity.
The NC Museum of Natural Sciences is North Carolina’s most visited museum, one of the largest institution of its kind in the Southeast, and one of the nation’s most celebrated nature museums. This significant institution is not only a wonderful place for the public to visit, but as a research-based museum, it is also home to thousands of scientific specimens used by scientists to learn the secrets of the natural world. Join us to celebrate Museum Week and learn first-hand from research curators about the strange and wonderful treasures hidden within the Museum's collections!
