History, Science and Culture
The University of Arkansas Museum preserves more than 7.5 million objects that fascinate all types of learners, from researchers and classes to hobbyists and children. The collection facility is open by appointment for individuals or groups, but there are many other ways you can explore the museum and participate in activities.
University faculty may request loans of specimens for their classes or arrange to bring their classes to the museum facility for a visit. Specimens and documentation are available for comparative and research purposes by faculty, qualified students and visiting scholars. We also fulfill our public service and outreach mission through community engagement programs and loans to other institutions.
