DelMNS Education & Gallery Specialist

The museum completed a major metamorphosis to its galleries and public spaces and reopened in May 2022.

In our galleries, discover how nature connects us all through exploring dynamic and diverse ecosystems. Educational programs include summer camp, school tours, community outreach visits, scout activities, and other initiatives.
