Unearth History at the Museum of the Rockies

The world-renowned Museum of the Rockies (MOR) unearths a wide range of scientific insight on the Rocky Mountain region. The museum is near the Montana State University campus on the south side of town and is affiliated with Montana State University and the Smithsonian Institute. It’s best known for an extensive collection of dinosaur fossils but also features insight into the continuing evolution of Yellowstone Country.

One of the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons ever recovered is within the museum’s Siebel Dinosaur Complex and aptly named Hall of Giants. Several other fossils from the region are also on display, as well as informative plaques detailing Montana’s role in paleontology.

Other permanent exhibits include the Paugh History Hall; the Martin Children’s Discovery Center; and the Welcome to Yellowstone Country exhibit, which gives a glimpse into the lives of native cultures of the region. The museum is also home to the Taylor Planetarium, featuring three shows each day included with the price of admission.

The museum also offers teen summer camps, adult lecture series. The museum is open every day of the year except major holidays, with extended hours between May and September. All admission tickets to the museum are good for a two-day span.
