Review:
The Museum of Natural and Cultural History, located on East 15th Street on the campus of the University of Oregon, is an American natural history museum that is the largest of its kind on the west coast between San Francisco and Seattle. The architecture of the museum is reminiscent of the longhouses of the Pacific Northwest Native Americans.
Begun in 1876 with the fossil collection of geologist Thomas Condon, the museum contains 100,000 fossils, almost one million archaeological artifacts and cultural objects, as well as many specimens of animals. The Museum of Natural and Cultural History is one of the best things to do in Eugene, Oregon. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum hosts temporary exhibits that feature Pacific Northwest themes.
