Yale's Peabody Museum presents natural history in New Haven, with paleontology among its best-known strengths.
Its collections offer visitors a way to explore life and environments across very different timescales, alongside the university's neighbouring cultural institutions.
Review the current visitor requirements and exhibition information before travelling. Leave time for interpretation around the specimens rather than treating the galleries only as photo stops, and check separately for activities or programs that need advance arrangements.
