For almost 20 years, the Museum has partnered with Southern Methodist University faculty on important paleontological work: from excavating bones and fossils at sites in Texas to preparing the fossils for research and exhibitions.

Since 1941, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History has been a magical place for imagination, innovation and first-hand learning. Founded by a group of school teachers who had a vision to create a special place where children could learn more about the natural world and their place in it, the Museum is neither city-owned nor the beneficiary of a primary philanthropic contributor. The Museum considers every person in our community a shareholder. Our Museum is your Museum!
Exhibit admissions and fees generate about half of the income required to operate the Museum and its programs. The remaining half is provided by the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations who appreciate the Museum’s unique role in addressing our community’s diverse educational needs.
