Throughout the year, the Burke plays host to authors, visiting professors, scientists, and other fascinating speakers.
For the third year in a row, the Burke Museum is bringing a world-renowned expert on dinosaur paleontology to Seattle for a free public lecture. This year’s lecture features Dr. Luis Chiappe, who will discuss new research that shows that birds are the living descendants of theropod dinosaurs and how fossils discovered over the past 20 years have shed light on the origin of avian flight.
