Bell Museum
The Bell Museum is Minnesota’s official natural history museum, established by the legislature in 1872 and held in trust by the University of Minnesota. For over a century, the museum has preserved and interpreted our state’s rich natural history. The Bell’s collections contain over one million specimens, representing every county in Minnesota and various locales around the globe. With a mission to ignite curiosity and wonder, explore our connections to nature and the universe, and create a better future for our evolving world, the Bell aims to serve learners of all ages. As an equal opportunity employer, we believe it is essential to create an environment that welcomes and empowers people from historically underrepresented and marginalized communities to have equitable access to the museum’s resources as well as opportunities to transform our work. We are committed to upholding the diversity, equity, and inclusion definitions and values set forth by the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences and the University of Minnesota.
