Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk among the dinosaurs? Standing right in front of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, you can do just that. The Academy of Natural Sciences is the oldest natural science museum in the Americas. It was founded in 1812 as a place for scientists and naturalists to study the wonders of the natural world. Its collections grew so rapidly that it has moved three times to larger spaces before settling in its current location in 1876. Today, the Academy of Natural Sciences houses over 18 million specimens, including a wide variety of plants, animals, fossils, and minerals. You can explore the depths of the ocean in the “Extreme Deep” exhibit, or wander through a tropical rainforest teeming with butterflies. The Academy also has a dinosaur hall that features many impressive specimens. Take a look at their famous Hadrosaurus foulkii, the first mounted skeleton of an American dinosaur, discovered right here in New Jersey. After the Academy presented this dinosaur to the world in 1868, its popularity soared. The museum expanded its dinosaur collections over time, adding a Tyrannosaurus rex and other exciting specimens that showcase some of the planet’s most fascinating creatures. The Academy of Natural Sciences provides an immersive and educational experience that brings the natural world to life. Come explore the Academy of Natural Sciences and see what secrets you can uncover!
