WELCOME! 

We are excited to announce that the KU Natural History Museum is open! Due to reduced capacity at this time, ADVANCE RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. Walk-up visitors without an appointment will be scheduled for the next open appointment, or may be asked to visit another day if reservations are full. Our hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 1:00pm - 5:00pm. Groups of up to 14 may visit for up to 90 minutes.  Visitors will be asked to follow KU’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols. At this time, all programs and events will still be held online. PLAN YOUR VISIT HERE.
