What can I do and see at the Museum of the Rockies?
One of the largest collections of dinosaur fossils in the world, including the largest Tyrannosaurus rex skull ever unearthed. The only Digistar planetarium in the Northern Rocky Mountains. A permanent collection of nearly 300,000 items of regional interest dating as far back as 500 millions. Find it only at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana.
In addition to its famous collection of fossils, the Museum of the Rockies' permanent exhibits offer details and insights into the lives of the Native Americans of the region; the story of the fur traders, prospectors and pioneers who explored and settled these parts; and a Living History Farm, featuring the Tinsley House, where re-enactors in period costumes show how Montanans cooked, fashioned their own tools, and made their lives comfortable on the edge of the frontier at the turn of the century.
