For more than a century, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History has encouraged visitors to look outward at the magnificent nature that surrounds them and inward at the connections that bind them to it.  And this December, the Museum revealed the most sweeping transformation in its history. 

New galleries and completely re-imagined exhibits await you.  The Museum's transformation features more than 375,000 square feet of new and expanded spaces and more than two acres of outdoor visitor areas. (If you consider the size of the average T.Rex, more than 900 of them would fit in the new and expanded spaces!)

The Museum's new Visitor Hall showcases some of their most iconic objects and specimens, including Haplocanthosaurus (Happy), Balto, Dunkleosteus (Dunk), Lucy, the Moon rock, and more.  This community space is free to all.  

• In addition, a general admission ticket will give you access to: 
• Smead Discovery Center – a hands-on space for young learners 
• 3D movies, now playing in Murch Auditorium 
• The Thelma and Kent H. Smith Environmental Courtyard 
• The live animal ambassadors in the Ralph Perkins II Wildlife Center & Woods Garden 
• All current exhibits
