Montana is well known for its connection to dinosaurs – we have quite a dinosaur trail, after all. But if you don’t have time to hunt for fossils all over Montana, just visit the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman. The world-class exhibits will blow your mind.

In these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list at a later date.

The Museum of the Rockies is a non-profit organization as well as a world-class cultural and natural history museum and research center.

It also happens to be accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, which is huge. Of the 33,000 museums in the country, fewer than 1,100 have this honor.

More than anything, the Museum of the Rockies is renowned for displaying an extensive collection of dinosaur fossils…


…and that includes a fully assembled T.Rex skeleton.

The Montana T. Rex was found near Lake Fort Peck in 1997, and it’s one of the most complete dinosaur skeletons ever found.

The collection of dinosaur bones here is truly remarkable.

No wonder people from all over the country (and beyond) come to see it.

As fantastic as the dinosaur fossils and skeletons are, they are not the only attraction of the museum.

There are always changing exhibits from around the world, regional and natural history exhibits, lectures, educational programs, and even a full planetarium.

Paugh History Hall shares the fascinating stories that connect us to the Northern Rocky Mountains.

These permanent exhibitions depict the cultural and social changes made by those who inhabited this region before us.

The Museum of the Rockies is a must.

Luckily, it’s open daily (excluding public holidays) from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore.

If you can only visit one museum in Montana, you’ll definitely want to visit this one. To plan your trip, check the current timetable on the official site.

Address: Museum of the Rockies, 600 W Kagy Blvd, Bozeman, MT 59717, USA
