Not many people have had the opportunity to go behind the scenes at our Ravenswood Collections facility…until now! Today, Dawn and Jessica are taking us for a special virtual tour through the facility to see some of the hundreds of thousands of incredible, important specimens in our collection. Plus, you’ll have the chance to see how our staff works with these special pieces.

Do you ever wonder how a butterfly gets its colors? Or how turtles hibernate? Do you wonder how birds know where to migrate each year? For over 165 years, the Chicago Academy of Sciences / Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum 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.
