Museum of Paleontology

The UMMP is a research museum consisting of collections used primarily for research. The collections are not open to the public. However, there are a number of UMMP specimens on display at the U-M Museum of Natural History, which is free and open to the public. The popular Fossil Prep Lab in the U-M Museum of Natural History is a UMMP lab. Our faculty and students work in this space preparing fossil specimens for our collections.
