Ever wanted to touch a bat? Or get close to a tiger? Meet hundreds of specimens from the Burke Museum’s extraordinary mammalogy collection.

Meet the Mammals is the only opportunity of the year for visitors to see hundreds of specimens from the mammalogy collection on display. There will be hands-on activities for the whole family; many of the specimens can be held or touched. Mammal experts are on hand all day long to answer questions and talk about the amazing diversity of mammals!

• Wonder what a scaly anteater would feel like? Check out our new pangolin specimen from Singapore!
• Put together a life-sized orca skeleton and learn about otters with the Seattle Aquarium.
• Make your own mammal mask to take home.
• And more!

Meet the Mammals is included with museum admission and is FREE for Burke members.
