At the Canadian Museum of Nature, we look after 14.6 million specimens. We also do research on those fossils, minerals, plants, and animals in our collections. And, we tell the world about what we have learned.
This Blog brings you behind the scenes with our Research and Collections team. Whether it be tales from the lab, from out in the field, or from meeting the public, we hope you learn..
