The U-M Museum of Natural History puts science on display. This museum, located on the University of Michigan Campus, houses the state's largest collection of dinosaur skeletons. Displays explore our natural history with special attention to Michigan's prehistoric past. The planetarium has a 360-degree domed screen that surrounds the audience.

The rotunda is awe-inspiring, making you long for the beauty of architecture of bygone days. The exhibits rely heavily on preserved bones and taxidermied animals. The displays have a very 1950s feel about them, but are still educational. The hall of dinosaur bones should still thrill your Dino-loving little ones.

The museum recently moved to a new location at 1105 North University Avenue, in the University of Michigan Biological Sciences Building. It opened in April 2019. A unit of the university's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, the current building is located on the university's Central Campus and has 22,000 square feet of exhibit space in a building that it shares with three research museums (Anthropology, Zoology, Paleontology).
