<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"">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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"">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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
