Why donate?

Years ago, at our museum in South Troy, we charged just $2 for admission because we wanted to make sure everyone could enjoy our exhibits and learn about the wonders of the natural world. Now, admission is FREE!

The museum survives on donations. Whether $2 or $200, your donation helps us maintain this website, create new 3D images, and develop new ways of bringing this experience to everyone.

On this website, we still aim to provide everyone with access to our educational materials. When you support our work, you help us connect people of all ages and abilities to these resources.
