About University of Michigan Museum of Natural History

The University of Michigan Museum of Natural History (UMMNH, formerly known as the Exhibit Museum and Exhibit Museum of Natural History) is a natural history museum of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States. The university's natural history collections date to 1837, and have been on display since 1881. The current museum was founded in 1956, and is operated by the university's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.

The university's natural history collection was housed in the Alexander G. Ruthven Museums Building from 1928 to 2017, when preparations began to move the museum to the new Biological Sciences Building on the university's Central Campus. The museum has over 45,000 square feet of exhibit space, and offers free admission to the general public.
