Description

Explore your own “natural curiosity” in this  exhibit that highlights the treasures of nature, and the evolution of  the field of natural history. In the early years as South Carolina  College, UofSC professors and students alike collected samples of  animals, vegetables, and minerals to study and grow their understanding  of the world around them. Today, visitors can still learn from these  authentic objects to dive deeper into the collections and explore the  work of Historic Southern Naturalists. Where will your natural curiosity  take you? Due to safety protocols, some exhibit elements have been  altered.

Permanent Exhibition. McKissick Museum is free and open  to the public Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Saturday 11:00  am to 3:00 pm. Tours are available by request via email or  by calling 803-777-2876. Tour requests can be submitted up to four  months in advance and no less than 14 days prior to the requested tour  date.
