Bell Expeditions

During July 12–16, we invite you to join us on the Bell Museum’s Learning Landscape to observe and ask questions about the process of measuring, cataloging, and preparing natural history specimens!

In an expedition-style setup outside of the museum, students and scientists will work together to demonstrate how scientific collections are created. Visitors will be able to watch live dissections as the team works together to take various data, preserve different types of samples, and produce specimens for the Bell Museum natural history collections, an active research institution utilized by scientists around the world.
