One of the main objectives of the Puget Sound Museum is to provide science-based education & outreach programming that engages the local community with the natural world and gives students the opportunity to engage with natural history museum collections. Whether it be through our free Nature in the Classroom science curriculum kits, our Docent Program open to all University of Puget Sound students, or our Night at the Museum events, we strive to make our collections & specimens accessible to all and do our part to inspire a love for the natural world.
