Connor Museum - WSU

One of the wonderful things about Pullman is the Washington State University campus and it's riches of museums and activities. A local favorite is Connor Museum. Connor museum is located in a very inconvenient place on campus but is worth the trek. It's in the ground floor of the Abelson science building near the center of campus (across from Owen Science Library). The museum is in three rooms and a hallway. Why Connor Museum? It's a large collection of stuffed animals - not teddy bears but real animals that have been preserved over the history of the university.


It's an amazing collection of local and exotic wildlife. The museum staff include little trivia bits around the rooms and you can even sit and watch a nature video next to a large buffalo.


The north room of the museum houses a life sized replica of a dinosaur dig.


In the east room, one can play with animal bones and furs while learning a little trivia.




Connor Museum is open during the day when Abelson is open. There is no fee nor is there anyone around to assist you if you have questions. It doesn't matter - the museum is a wonderful place and the college has worked hard to give you a rather good education while you are there.
