Meteorites allow us to explore essential questions about the origins of the solar system some 4.6 billion years ago, and understand the formation of the Earth. Our collection features spectacular specimens from classic localities including the Allende, Imilac, and Canyon Diablo — the famous Barringer Crater in Flagstaff, Arizona.
FREE ADMISSION* If you find the doors closed, knock on any door on the fourth floor of Exley Science Center to request admission to the museum.
