Inspiring nature champions

Do you ever wonder how a butterfly gets its colors? Or how turtles hibernate? For over 167 years, the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum of the Chicago Academy of Sciences has served a unique role in the city of Chicago connecting people of all ages to nature and science through immersive exhibits, fun family events, important conservation research and in-depth education programs, inspiring the wonder in all of us. We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Chicago Park District on behalf of the people of Chicago.
