The Weber State University Museum of Natural Science occupies the main floor of the Lind Lecture Hall on the northeast corner of the campus. The museum provides an important educational opportunity that's free and accessible to people of all ages. With exciting exhibits that will both entertain and educate you, we're sure you'll a great experience.

The Museum is visited each week by Weber State University students, faculty and staff members, as well as members of the general public and by hundreds of elementary school students. Children of all ages are amazed by the dinosaur bones, African masks, and wild animal exhibits. Guided tours are also available via appointment; see the information page for contact information.

While visiting the museum you may even have the opportunity to see students working on and/or studying the exhibits. Many professors send their students to the Museum to study aspects of the exhibits. With everything from dinosaurs to African masks you'll learn things you've never learned before.

The exhibits are well-researched, carefully constructed and cover a wide range of Natural Science subjects. Many of the exhibits have recently been remodeled by Weber State University's very own graphic arts students, so even if you've been here before, there may be more to experience. Come and see us and learn of all we have to offer. You can see what we have to offer by using the list to left to navigate this site.
