If you’ve had the opportunity to visit the Orton Geological Museum, or even to visit the Museum’s website lately, you’ve no doubt noticed changes. New exhibits, a new storefront rebranded as the DinOStore, and QR codes linking physical exhibits to digital exhibits online, plus fresh new online content, are some of the more obvious changes.
The Orton Museum is pushing forward changes to its physical space and its electronic space, as well as shoring up its background curatorial and fiscal foundations. Classes in the Natural History Museum Curation Certificate Program are being taught, and the Museum’s outreach program has been expanded.
We would like to highlight for you some of the Museum’s activities and exhibits. Some of these are located in Learning on our website. Of course, we hope that you will come experience —or re-experience— the Museum for yourself, bookmark our webpage and follow its updates, and follow us on social media. We would also love for you to get involved with the Museum, and become a vital part of this institutional gem.
