Oakes Museum of Natural History

The Oakes Museum of Natural History is a new two level museum on the campus of Messiah College. The Museum’s natural history collections have both regional and national significance. Additionally, the Museum has researched and commissioned the seemingly lost art of the diorama display. This revival is not done in the interest of revival but as a remarkable method of presenting prime specimens in a context that is both educational and entertaining to the Museum’s ever-increasing public.
