Welcome to the Amherst College Museum of Natural History



Best estimates say the Earth is about four and a half billion years old. In the time since its creation, Earth has been pounded by meteors, seen mountains rise and crumble, had oceans rise and fall. Earth has nurtured life, everything from bacteria to dinosaurs to you and me.

This museum is a tribute to all of that. We begin as you walk through the main entrance, starting at the first floor mineral collection.
