The ASU Natural History Collections are available for visits.
The collections are not a museum, per se, but an active research facility. However, we often welcome K-12 and other biodiversity enthusiasts of all ages. If you would like to schedule a group tour or activity, please contact Elizabeth Makings, collections manager of vascular plants.
Our annual budget relies on philanthropic support, and we ask that you consider a donation to the Natural History Collections commensurate with your activity and/or time frame. We are flexible with schools and other non-profits. Contact our collections staff for guidance and details.
As of 2014 the collections are housed in a new 24,000 sq. ft. space located about 1.5 miles southwest of Arizona State University’s Tempe Campus, at 734 West Alameda Drive.
There is free parking on the east side of the Alameda Building near the front entrance.
