MEET OUR NEW DIRECTOR
This year is going to be stellar for the museum. A full time position has been created for a Museum Director. Tom Hebert, founder of the Earth Sciences Foundation and our esteemed colleague, has accepted the position. Tom began his tenure in April 2025, and is making impressive strides in elevating the museum’s profile. His enthusiasm and ambition for paleontology is unrivaled. His mission is to initiate significant expansion of the museum while providing community and region-wide opportunities for involvement and outreach.

The Museum of Discovery now known as the Natural History Museum of Wyoming
is doing big things and GROWING FAST!
Our collections are dedicated to the paleontology and geology of Wyoming. We are headquartered in the Mohns Building at Sheridan College which has recently been remodeled. Some museum displays are located around the campus and the Sheridan Fulmer Library.
The museum was closed April 2024, but reopened in September of 2024 with new displays and a fresh new face.
A new entrance was added to the lobby and the displays have been re-installed to give you a flavor of the epochs of earth's history.
So put on your walking shoes and take a tour of our displays at Sheridan College. (see map below.) Part of an adult Triceratops skull is housed in the Thorne-Rider Campus Center, near the cafeteria elevator. In the Griffith Memorial Library is the Roy Chapman dino egg nest from Mongolia. Caesar the Allosaurus resides in the main entry of the Whitney Academic Center. The bison jump is located under the stairs at the Whitney Center for the Arts. Our baby (pet) Triceratops skeleton “Paul” is finally home in the lobby of the Mohns Center. See the map below for locations of the displays. If you wish to be added to our mailing list, please fill out the contact form.
