HMNS Exhibit Halls


Located at
One Hermann Circle Drive


The Museum's exhibit halls are host to a rich and diverse array of natural treasures and technological marvels. The world's finest collection of display-quality gems and minerals and an awesome array of dinosaur skeletons are only a few of the many first-class exhibitions at HMNS.  

Your self-guided tour of the HMNS Exhibit Halls may take as little as a half an hour or become an all day event... there is that much to see and learn! Visitors are guaranteed return visit privileges for the entire day with the purchase of a ticket.

The options are endless!  Immerse yourself in the latest Wortham IMAX® Theatre films, or interact with over 1,500 butterflies in the Cockrell Butterfly Center or travel in space via the Burke Baker Planetarium Theatre!  Be sure to stop and explore the permanent and special exhibit halls during your visit.

General admission price includes access to all HMNS permanent exhibit halls, excluding special exhibitions and the Brown Hall of Entomology. Access to the Hall of Entomology is included with admission to the Cockrell Butterfly Center. General admission to the HMNS permanent exhibit halls is FREE after 2 p.m. on Tuesdays!
