Employer Information
The Sam Noble Museum's mission is to inspire minds to understand the natural and cultural world through collection-based discovery, interpretation, and education. All of the museum's programs and exhibits are weighed against this mission statement and inspiration occurs through the discovery of new knowledge and the sharing of this knowledge through public programs and exhibits.

First established in 1899, the Sam Noble Museum is a university governed state museum of natural history with a budget of $8 million and a professional staff of 100 in a state-of-the-art facility of 195,000 square feet that opened in 2000. There are 10 million objects in collections of earth, social and life sciences. The Sam Noble Museum is a teaching, research, heritage preservation, and exhibition facility with 65,000 square feet of public programs and exhibit space. Thirteen scientists serve as curators of the museum's collections and educators at the University of Oklahoma, and a full-time exhibits and public programs staff dedicated to providing the finest of outreach programs to the people of Oklahoma. Over 160,000 people visit the Museum each year. It is accredited by the AAM.

The museum educational efforts are at all levels, including graduate and undergraduate classes. Much scholarly work on Oklahoma's natural and cultural history is based on the museum's collections and its world-class curators, with foundational books on archeology, birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, Native Americana, fossil history, and biodiversity. The holdings-including the largest collections of anthropology, classics, vertebrate, invertebrate and botanical fossils, mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians-provide objects and specimens to illustrate the state's scientific and cultural history.
