This collections-based, research-driven museum, founded in 1936, has a vast collection of rare and extinct wildlife, rocks and minerals, and the first mounted dinosaur in Texas. Each exhibit portrays a distinct era in the natural diversity of the state. Working archaeologists and paleontologists ensure the continued growth of each intricate exhibit as well as a deeper understanding of what it represents. Permanent exhibits include a paleontology lab, a wildlife diorama, Lagoon Nature Walk and Prehistoric Texas. The highlight exhibit is a reconstructed dinosaur discovered in Wise County, just west of Fort Worth. Collections range from mammals, birds and fish to rocks and minerals, insects and gastropods.
