It's Time to Say Goodbye to the Triceratops Skull at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥!

After 41 years, we’re waving a fond farewell to the Triceratops skull within Paleontology Hall. This charismatic ceratopsian from the Cretaceous period has looong been a favorite at the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Museum of Natural History while on loan from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Be sure to stop by before May 8 to say hello for the first time or, to say a goodbye—before it’s too late!

Experience the thrill of the frill with PaleoPalooza activites including a Jurassic Jenga station, selfie station and more for ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ students looking for a study break for finals.
