Access to Collections

 

The University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology is a research museum.  Access to collections for external researchers is by appointment only.

 

COLLECTIONS:

The Museum of Paleontology collections have been relocated to our state-of-the-art facility at the Research Museums Center.  We thank you for your patience during the move process and hope that you will visit us at our new facility.

  • Vertebrate Collections - available for research visits, loans, loan returns, and other requests.  As reorganization and unpacking is ongoing, there may be delays or limitations associated with access to some specimens.
