University of Michigan Museum of Natural History

Fossils, natural history displays, and learning activities connect the region's past with questions about life and the environment. The photograph shows the paired mastodon skeleton displays in the museum's current building.

Check current opening hours and the program calendar before visiting. General museum access and planetarium shows have different arrangements, so confirm show tickets separately. Allow time for the galleries and any demonstrations that interest you, and review parking, accessibility, and school-group information before arriving.
