University of Nebraska State Museum - Morrill Hall & Mueller Planetarium

Look for the mammoth! Early hunters prized the mammoth for food, tools and warm clothing. The life-sized bronze Columbian mammoth that embellishes the entrance of this natural history museum takes us back in time to when these huge mammals wandered the Plains.

The collections found inside include one of the world's largest collections of mammal fossils. Additionally, Elephant Hall offers a remarkable display of modern and fossil elephants along with a mural of Ice Age mammoths. Visit the Age of Dinosaurs in the interactive Mesozoic Gallery. Learn how evolution works in the new Explore Evolution Gallery. The Galleries of Ancient Life, Plains Indians and Hall of Nebraska Wildlife further interpret Nebraska's natural historic past. A hands-on Discovery Center is a favorite for kids of all ages.
