Texas Science & Natural History Museum tells the story of life in the natural world in Texas, from the formation of our planet, through the age of the dinosaurs, into our current environment.

Visit greater Austin’s only natural history museum to walk beneath the 33-foot wingspan of a pterosaur and come face to face with a Texas Tyrannosaur! 

At Texas Science & Natural History Museum on the campus of UT Austin, find spectacular fossils of animals and plants that once inhabited the lands and waters of Texas, historical to present-day Texas wildlife in dioramas depicting the diverse ecoregions of Texas, and much more. Explore the science of paleontology in the hands-on Discovery Center, designed especially for families and upper elementary-age learners! The museum store features a wide variety of science and nature-themed toys, games, books, puzzles, and more.

The museum is the perfect destination for families, students and science and nature enthusiasts. Plan your visit, learn about upcoming events and more at http://sciencemuseum.utexas.edu.
