UW Geology Museum Open House

Explore the Geology Museum and take a peek into Wisconsin's deep history! On your visit you can touch rocks from a time when there were volcanoes in Wisconsin; see corals, jellyfish and other sea creatures that used to live and swim where we now walk; and stand under the tusks of a mastodon while imagining yourself in the Ice Age. Founded in 1848 like the University, the museum is celebrating its 175th anniversary with new specimens - one of which that will be unveiled for our open house!
