University of California Museum of Paleontology

The University of California Museum of Paleontology in Berkeley, California, is a research museum that preserves fossil collections and offers digital resources and educational programs. Most fossils are used for research and teaching rather than displayed publicly, but visitors can see a Smilodon skeleton in the Valley Life Sciences Building and a sculpture outside McCone Hall. Its public displays provide a limited glimpse into Berkeley’s paleontology collections.
