There are, of course, a number of state museums of natural history. Judy
Diamond at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln has started a
number of notable informal science projects, including a project on evolution
that involved a collaborative of the University of Nebraska and a number of
state museums.

Harvard Museum of Natural History (just for the fun of kindling that
rivalry).
