Visitor guidelines
Help us protect the collections
Museum rules keep fragile objects safe for the next hundred visitors.
- Use gentle hands—or look with your eyes only—unless a label says otherwise.
- Keep snacks and drinks in the kitchen, not near specimens.
- Sketching and note-taking are encouraged; flash photography only if it will not fade labels.
- Found something cool outside? Check with a grown-up before adding it to the accession list.
