The Museum
From the first computer on campus to a meteorite that fell near Fayetteville in 1934, the University of Arkansas Museum houses a highly varied collection encapsulating the fields of archeology, history, ethnology, geology, and zoology.
Originally established as a geology teaching collection in the 1870s, the Museum today is dedicated to preserving and sharing Earth’s diverse cultural and natural history inclusively for Arkansans and all through active research, education, and outreach.
University faculty may request loans of specimens for their classes or arrange to bring their classes to the University Collections Facility for a visit. Specimens and their associated documentation are available for research and exhibition purposes by faculty, qualified students, and visiting scholars. We also fulfill our public service and outreach mission through community engagement programs and loans to other institutions for exhibits.
