The Museum of Natural History at the University of Illinois maintains and preserves a biodiverse collection, made up of more than half a million specimens ranging from microscopic organisms to the fossils of extinct macrofauna such as dinosaurs and mastodons. Interaction with these collections is vital to the promotion of the discovery, understanding, responsible use, and enjoyment of the natural world.

This exhibit displays a sample of these materials that highlight the diverse collections of the Museum of Natural History and how they can enrich the community through discussion and debate.
