Be a Buzzworthy Benefactor

Discover the Buzz around NHM Commons

We are buzzing with anticipation for the opening of our new wing and community hub, NHM Commons this Fall. This light-filled 75,000-square-foot space is a modern and inviting new addition and portal to the Natural History Museum in Exposition Park and promises to redefine our visitors’ museum experience. We are thrilled to offer our community the opportunity to be a part of natural history in the making and support our continuing efforts to open new doors for our visitors and local communities.

Our Buzzworthy Benefactors campaign is a celebration of community, progress, and access. By joining the ranks of other esteemed donors, you will be honored with a custom-designed winged critter flying high on the wall adjacent to the Judith Perlstein Welcome Center. This no-ticket-required space will see hundreds of thousands of visitors each year and provide them several free experiences before entering the main part of the museum.

As a participant in this campaign, you will be recognized as a part of this welcoming and inclusive community installation, or you may choose to honor the legacy of your family, loved one, or even your favorite organization. Your prized disc will always be available for viewing anytime you visit the Museum and will be a testament to your lasting contribution to science, education, and culture.
