A museum is only as special as the treasures it watches over. For the Houston Museum of Natural Science, that’s more than 2.5 million objects. Each of these amazing items -- from hulking dinosaur mummies to delicate butterfly wings and intricately carved seashells -- has a story. Join curators and experts as they share where these objects came from and what happens once they get to HMNS.  Got an object you’d like to learn more about?
