Thank you for making Museum Day 2009 such a huge success! Please check back for information on Museum Day 2010.
Until then, check out our participating museums and upcoming events on our Twitter page.

The Alabama Museum of Natural History is located in Smith Hall on the University campus. The Grand Gallery, exhibits fossils, rocks and minerals from the Coal Age, Dinosaur Age, and Ice Age, showcases our state fossil (the basilosaurus whale) and the only meteorite known to have struck a human.




Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
