About YALE PEABODY MUSEUM

The Peabody Museum has been part of Yale and New Haven for more than 150 years. In the 19th century, it was the science startup of its day. We are proud to have completed a major renovation that reinvents the Peabody for the 21st century and beyond, further establishing the Museum as a home for cutting-edge research, extraordinary education, and breathtaking exhibitions. Field Trip Experience for K-12 Groups: Our engaging and educational field trips for K-12 students offer a unique opportunity to ignite curiosity and foster a love for science and history. Students will marvel at the wide array of exhibits, from awe-inspiring dinosaur fossils to stunning objects representing thousands of years of human existence, creativity and ingenuity. Through interactive displays and hands-on activities, children will immerse themselves in the wonders of Earth, its life, history and cultures.
