Specimens have come from a variety of sources. Some were purchased at the time the Museum was founded and the exhibits were built, during an era the predates Jacques Cousteau, Animal Planet, and IMAX films, when collecting animals for educational purposes was done routinely and was an important means of learning about the natural world. Others have been donated to us through the years, and a very small number have been purchased in the last couple of decades.
