Slater Museum of Natural History
The Slater Museum of Natural History was founded as the Puget Sound Museum of Natural History in 1930. Museums have an ever-increasing responsibility for the conservation of specimens as animal and plant populations are threatened by human activities, and the Slater Museum is one of the region's significant repositories for these specimens. Located in Harned Hall, the collection includes 29,500 mammals; 23,000 birds; 10,000 plants; 7,500 amphibians and reptiles; and 5,000 insects. Look for the 27-foot-long juvenile whale skeleton (named “Willy” by students) in the entry to Harned Hall, and learn more about the Slater Museum collections.
