The Collections of the Yale Peabody Museum

Overseen by a board of curators from the Yale University faculty, the exceptional collections of the Yale Peabody Museum are at the heart of University teaching, the interdisciplinary studies of researchers from around the world, and Museum exhibitions that communicate the importance and excitement of studying the earth’s history and diversity. There are more than 12 million specimens and objects held by the Museum’s 11 curatorial divisions, less than 1% of which can be displayed to the public at any given time.

The collections offer crucial keys to the history of the earth and in some cases are the only surviving traces of animals, plants and cultures that have become extinct. See the divisional pages for detailed information on specific holdings.
