On Homecoming / Alumni / Parents Weekend (October 3-4, 2025), the Essig Museum hosts an open house to view our collections on Friday (12:00 – 5:00 pm) and Saturday (12:00 – 5:00 pm), and invites alumni and their families to visit and find out about the research, teaching, and outreach activities of the Essig Museum.
Please reserve your tickets (not currently available) for a one hour tour on either Friday or Saturday afternoon. Tours will meet at the feet of the Tyrannosaurus rex on the first floor of the Valley Life Science Building.
