Gallery construction
Please note that the museum will be undergoing some construction in our galleries until late January 2025. During your visit you may experience sudden and loud bursts of sound. This work is necessary as we prepare to open a new exhibit. We apologize for any disturbance this causes during your visit.
ACCESS 2
The Museum of Natural History is a participating venue in the Easter Seal’s Canada Access 2 Card program that offers free admission for the companion of those visitors who require assistance while visiting the museum. Visit the Access 2 Card Program website to learn more.
