点评:Don’t miss seeing this amazing museum on the University of Oregon campus! It’s small, but magnificent with spectacular exhibits! It takes about an hour (or two, depending on your interests) to stroll the wondrous variety of rooms – showcasing everything from the world’s oldest sandals (braided from sagebrush bark) to a towering prehistoric sloth with frightful claws, to giant salmon that once grew to nearly 9-feet-long & weighed 400 pounds!
Many interactive displays will captivate children & adults; there’s a paleo lab for kids; a wall-sized “Oregon fossil map” with wondrous wanderers from the past; and even a museum gift shop near the museum’s entryway which offers books, notecards, local artwork, & more!
Museum hours are Wed. through Sunday, with low-cost admission ($ 6 general; $4 senior, and free the first Friday of each month). Limited nearby parking requires a museum permit (obtained inside the building). Backpacks are not allowed, but can be checked (for free) in lockers near the front desk.
Current special showings: “Underwater Forests – Oregon’s Kelp Ecosystems” (to Feb. 2, 2025) featuring sea otters & sunflower starfish; and a spectacular “Capturing the Cosmos: Images from the James Webb Space Telescope” – on view to March 28, 2025 – revealing startling photos sure to stun your senses with surprising beauty! My favorite was the dazzling “Rho Ophiuchi” cloud complex where new stars are born!
See the museum’s website for additional information, and upcoming events. For sure, you will visit more than once!
