Description

You may have visited the Denver Museum of Nature & Science to see its wonderful exhibits, but did you know that the museum also has over 4 million objects stored in an underground state-of-the-art collections facility? These collections, used heavily by the scientific community, are vital to understanding our planet’s history, particularly Colorado.

John Demboski talks about the importance of these collections and presents some truly interesting nuggets from the museum’s zoology collections including the wild story of Colorado’s last grizzly bear, the 56-foot whale shipped to Colorado by a Gold Rush millionaire, and extinct species, just to name a few.

Speaker: John Demboski, PhD, Senior Vice President and Chief Curator Science Division, Denver Museum of Nature and Science
