The Beneski Museum of Natural History is located on the Amherst College campus. This museum is made up of three floors that encompass over 1,700 specimens currently on display. You’ll be awed by the life-size fossilized skeletons of Mammoths and dinosaurs. If you dare to look through the impressive collection of dinosaur footprints, you may be surprised at the size of some of their feet. Dinosaurs and bones are not all that are found – discover Beneski’s massive geology and meteorite collections as well. You’ll also find evidence of man’s earliest ancestors.
