Mississippi State Natural Science Museum
Mississippi Museum of Natural
Science
Adopted in 1974.
The mission of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science was adopted in 1974 as the State Natural Science Museum. It is
to promote understanding and appreciation of Mississippi's biological
diversity through collections, research, scientific data bases, education,
and exhibits; and to inspire the people of our state to respect the
environment and to preserve natural Mississippi.
The Museum of Natural Science is responsible for studying,
preserving, and enhancing Mississippi's living natural resources. A
professional staff of almost three dozen people includes ten research
biologists who are chiefly concerned with protecting our state's rare and
endangered species. The staff also administers federal research and
education grants and maintains the Mississippi Natural Heritage Database, a
computerized information bank containing some 5,000 individual files.
