This week the Burke Museum officially begins celebrating 125 years as a museum. That’s something to celebrate. To kick off the 12-month celebration, we’re creating special signs, themed events, and posting fun facts about our history on our Website.
The theme is: Celebrating 125 years: Inspiring young naturalists then and now
And they dreamed big. They went on to found our museum—and generations of students have been inspired by the Burke ever since.
We want to hear from you… tell us what YOU collect!
* Specifically, in 1885 the Young Naturalists Society” decided to build its own museum. They signed an agreement to locate the building at the territorial university (now the UW).
