About

Why Your Support Matters

The LSU Museum of Natural Science advances knowledge of global biodiversity and the natural world through the preservation and study of world-class research collections. As the only comprehensive research museum in the south-central United States, the Museum of Natural Science plays a vital role in discovery, education, and public engagement.

Museum faculty, staff, students, and researchers work together to generate new knowledge in biology, archaeology, and paleontology. Our collections support hands-on training, public education, and scientific research while fostering appreciation for the natural world grounded in evolutionary science.

This LSU Giving Day, your gift will strengthen the winning teams that protect these collections and expand education and discovery. Together, we preserve the past to inform the future. Thank you for your support.
