The University of Arkansas
Museum traces its beginnings to an early geology teaching collection, which is documented
to 1873. From a modest beginning, the collections have since grown to include millions of
objects across the fields of archeology, ethnology, history, geology, and zoology.
Join Laurel Lamb, one of the museum’s curators, on a behind-the-scenes tour of the U of A
Collections Facility. Whether you are a museum
lover in general or like rocks, fossils, animals, or
history more specifically, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. We will start off
with a presentation about the Museum’s history
and present-day offerings.
After the presentation, the collections tour will
begin and last approximately one hour, depending on the group’s interests and questions.
Bring your walking shoes and get ready to explore! The group is to meet in the lobby area,
just inside the entrance. Activity Level: 1
