The University of Colorado Museum of Natural History presents natural and cultural history through public galleries in Boulder's Henderson Building.

The University of Colorado Museum of Natural History presents natural and human history in Boulder’s Henderson Building. Its public displays include the hands-on Discovery Corner and biodiversity-focused BioLounge, alongside galleries drawing on the university’s research collections.
Exhibitions address subjects such as Acoma pottery, horses in human history and ancient life in the Boulder Valley. The museum’s Triceratops cast is in the separate SEEC building on East Campus, rather than in Henderson. Research collections and appointments are also distinct from an ordinary public-gallery visit.
