Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History

The Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History has connected people to the wonders of nature for over 100 years. We highlight the region’s diverse plant, animal, and human communities from the shoreline of Monterey Bay to the summit of the Santa Cruz Mountains. We strive to connect people with nature and science to inspire stewardship of the natural world through educational programs and exhibits focused on the natural and cultural history of our region.
