NHMU in Your Community
Request Community Engagement from NHMU
We receive a large number of program requests and partnership opportunities. NHMU prioritizes the following when considering your event:
- Accessibility (e.g., free for the public)
- Location (e.g., West Side of Salt Lake County, rural/frontier counties)
- Audience (e.g., outside of K-12th grades, such as pre-K, families, and adults)
- Educational (e.g., aligned with the Museum’s mission)
- Partnerships (e.g., strengthens connections with current partners, provides an opportunity to reach a community not presently being engaged)
If you have a community event you would like the Museum to attend or participate in, please submit a Community Event Request Form to tell us more about your event.
Statewide Engagement
As the state’s official museum of natural history, we strive to bring the Museum's collections and its educators to the entire state of Utah. Our Community Engagement team travels extensively to share the excitement of the natural world in neighborhoods across the state. The team provides free education and engagement programming to ignite curiosity in the natural world and to help every Utahn develop a personal connection to science and nature.

Traveling Treasures
Presented in partnership with Zions Bank, Traveling Treasures delivers a traveling exhibition of the Museum's objects to bank branches around the state, exploring a different theme each year.
Explorer Corps
Explorer Corps has installed 29 physical markers around the state, one in every county, to highlight more of Utah's natural and cultural wonders. Have you found them all?
