Three great museums & one amazing trail! The Museum of Zoology has joined with the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences and the Whipple Museum of the History of Science to produce a discovery trail connecting the dots between the study of Earth, the animals that live there and how we work to understand them. This trail will uncover ideas of evolution, theories and how the world works. 

Pick up your booklet in any of the three museums, and don't forget to have it stamped before you move onto the next museum. 

Happy Exploring!
