We can't wait to see you!

With working labs you can see into, one-of-a-kind objects all around you, and galleries filled with curiosity and conversation, at the Burke, you see—and feel—a world alive. The Burke Museum is located on the University of Washington campus in Seattle with a focus on dinosaurs, fossils, Northwest Native art, plant and animal collections, and cultural pieces from across the globe.  

Masks welcome and encouraged

While masks are now optional, we continue to welcome and encourage mask wearing for the protection of the most vulnerable members of our community. Please see our Welcome Back Guidelines for more information.
