About the Museum
Our Mission
Fostering an appreciation for the natural world through research, education, & hands-on undergraduate programs.
Since its establishment in 1926, the Puget Sound Museum has been inspiring generations of scientists, educators, artists, naturalists, and more to care for the natural world and act as advocates for museum collections. Nearly 100 years later, the museum continues to act as an invaluable resource for science and an educational tool for the Puget Sound region. As the largest natural history collection located at a liberal arts college in the U.S., our mission at the Puget Sound Museum is to inspire the next generation of museum enthusiasts and ensure the longevity of collections as hubs of research and education.
