The Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History has been bringing the delights and wonders of the natural world to Santa Cruz residents and visitors for 100 years.  With it's early beginnings in the Santa Cruz public library, the Museum collections and displays have been housed in various locations in the City. 

Plans are underway to build a new, larger Museum at Depot Park.  While construction is still several years away, we invite you to enjoy the exhibits and programs at our Seabright location, and keep checking back for news on our progress.
