The Yale Peabody Museum has served the public and the scientific community since 1866. Treasures housed within our collections enrich teaching and learning, and inform the work of curators and researchers redefining their fields. Find out here how you can join us at this transformative moment and become a partner in everything we do.
We invite you to look ahead with us. The Yale Peabody Museum is inspiring new generations of students, scholars, scientists, and enthusiasts of the natural world. Your gift ensures that we can continue to serve our community and remain an open source for those interested in everything from dinosaurs to insects, plants, gems and minerals, and the history of human culture.
