Word from a U-M paleontologist: Support Dinosaur Discoveries: Ancient Fossils, New Ideas at UMMNH!

The Dinosaur Discoveries: Ancient Fossils, New Ideas traveling exhibition from the American Museum of Natural History will open at the U-M Museum of Natural History in February 2024. Help us bring the exhibition to life by making a donation today!

We’re more than halfway to our fundraising goal of $20,000 and still need your support.

But don’t take it just from us. We asked Dr. Jeff Wilson Mantilla – Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Curator in the Museum of Paleontology – why he’s excited about this traveling exhibit: 

Your donation will support:

- Free admission for all
- Free and fun hands-on educational activities
- Exhibition installation expenses
We’re planning a rich array of additional programs and opportunities surrounding this exciting exhibition. All contributors will be invited to a special donor event!

A gift of:
$1,000 will help train student docents to engage visitors with hands-on objects in the exhibition gallery
$500 will add hands-on elements to a U-M Research Station exhibit featuring a newly discovered species of dwarf sauropod
$250 will help cover the cost of street pole banners to advertise the exhibition
$50 will provide toys and educational resources for a preschool exploration area
All gifts matter and your generosity makes a difference! Click here to make a gift today!

Sincerely,
Amy Harris
Director
