The University of Arkansas Museum traces its beginnings to an early geology teaching collection in the 1870s. From a modest beginning, the collections have since grown to include millions of objects encapsulating the fields of anthropology, history, geology, and zoology. Join the Museum’s curators on a behind-the scenes tour of the collections! 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.

*Wear comfortable walking shoes and get ready to explore!
