Gift Shop With Sustainability in Mind


Have you visited the Museum Gift Shop lately? As stewards of the natural world, we value sustainable and zero-waste items. You can find a variety of the gifts including organic beeswax wraps, glass water bottles, and utensil sets to go in the Shop next time you visit us!

Little Green Islands
Leaves fell like glitter on the sun-showered path. These tiny, yellow hearts of quaking aspen fluttered wildly as they descended, eventually ending up in drifts built upon the wilted bodies of their companions. Placid raindrops beaded up on their slick surfaces, shining like jewels in the slanting rays of afternoon sun. A gentle sweetness wafted on the lukewarm breeze.

I do love fall.

Red Tails at the Raptor Center
The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota admits hundreds of injured raptors each year. Every bird is carefully examined by veterinarians and amidst the injuries, they often find interesting tidbits of typical raptor biology. They recently shared this fascinating photo of a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk tail.

Live From the Collection
Much like a loving pet owner, Haley left detailed notes before heading away from the office for the remainder of the week. I promptly pinned her handwritten message onto the cork board above my desk for easy viewing. After a brief moment of realization, I sat down and mentally prepared myself for a week that was sure to be both greatly entertaining and frustrating--Haley was leaving me alone with the Museum's live animals.
