Cheers to Tina!

If I won the lottery, I wouldn't tell anybody...but there would be signs. I'd head right to the finer items available at the Houston Museum of Natural Science Store ...pinky up and saying "indubitably" an absurd amount of times 🤌😍

RIP Sam Neill. He inspired an entire generation of "geeks" to believe in themselves. That strength didn't have to look like Rambo. That true strength came from our hearts, minds, and kindness. ♥️🦖

You read that right. It’s a 2-for-1! 🎉
Purchase or renew your HMNS Membership between now and July 4 and you’ll automatically be entered for a chance to win an extra year of membership. That’s two years for the price of one.
Two years of dinosaurs. Two years of mummies. Two years of discovery. You get the idea 😉
And don’t forget, your HMNS Membership also works at our Sugar Land location and the George Observatory.
