Texas Science & Natural History Museum
Bring Texas’ Natural History to Life!
Texas Science & Natural History Museum excites, engages and connects curious minds of all ages with the unique and irreplaceable natural history of Texas.
The museum tells the story of life in the natural world in Texas, from the formation of our planet, through the age of the dinosaurs, to our current environment.
As a self-supporting unit of The University of Texas at Austin, the museum relies on the philanthropic support of members and donors. Your financial support will help foster a robust educational experience, create innovative new exhibits and help ensure the museum’s long-term sustainability as a treasured community resource.

Since reopening in September 2023, we’ve welcomed over 100,000 visitors, including almost 500 school and community groups.

"Wow! Thank you so much for this amazing field trip. Our fourth graders loved viewing the collections and interacting with the docents. It was also an important experience for our students to be on a college campus. Several students mentioned that they would like to attend UT in their future!" — Educator, Ruth Barron Elementary (Title I)
