MISSION STATEMENT
The Museum of Osteology provides quality educational opportunities and allow school groups and the public to explore the form and function of the skeletal system. We believe that conservation must begin through education and appreciation of the natural world.
The Museum of Osteology, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, will serve as a public educational facility, focusing on the form and function of the skeletal system. This museum will house nearly 5000 skull and skeletal specimens representing over 2500 vertebrate species. Displays will include adaptation, locomotion, classification and diversity of the vertebrate kingdom with a strong concentration on the class Mammalia (mammals). The Museum of Osteology is open to the public and offesr a variety of quality educational opportunities, such as guided museum tours and specialty programs for school groups, as well as serving as a source for research specimens. This museum will be the only one of its kind in the world.

Museum Update: March 2010
After 6 1/2 long years, The Museum of Osteology is finally nearing completion. The Museum’s Joey Williams says, ” When we began planning the museum back in ‘03, we never anticipated it taking this long but there have been numerous set backs along the way. Some of these included contractor issues, permit delays and financial impediments.” However, all of these issues have now been resolved and progress continues ahead at full speed. Museum director, Jay Villemarette says, “With the installation of the glass in the exhibit cases and carpet throughout the museum, we have never been closer. We are now completing the final skeletons and signage for the remaining exhibits. We expect to have these last elements finalized soon and anticipate opening sometime this fall.”
