Meet the Peabody
Curators & Collections Staff
The exceptional collections in the care of the Museum’s curatorial staff are at the heart of University teaching, the interdisciplinary studies of researchers from around the world, and the Museum’s exhibitions that communicate the importance and excitement of studying Earth’s history and diversity.
The 10 divisions charged with the care of more than 14 million specimens and objects housed in the Yale Peabody Museum are overseen by curators appointed from the Yale University faculty.
