Located on the northwest corner of UW campus, the Burke Museum is a research-and-collections-based museum that cares for and shares natural and cultural collections. With working labs you can see into and galleries filled with curiosity and conversation, it’s a new kind of museum—and a whole new way to experience our world. The Burke has a focus on dinosaurs, fossils, Northwest Native art, plant and animal collections, and cultural pieces from across the globe.
As a Burke member, you get invites to special events, such as previews of opening exhibits and access to educational opportunities.
