Bell Museum scientists work in the treetops of Papua New Guinea's tropical forests, in the rivers of the southern United States and the capitals of Europe. Their research provides
important baseline data for scientists and conservationists and creates a record of the earth's biological diversity.
The Bell Museum has exceptional scientific collections. Nearly 4 million specimens—mammals, birds, fishes, plants, mollusks and insects—provide opportunities for research and
learning. From Eurasia to South America, Bell Museum scientists collect specimens to build the museum's biological collections, which serve as an international library for
scientific research. In addition to collections from around the globe, the Bell Museum has the largest collection documenting Minnesota's biodiversity. |
