Spooky Science with the Bell Museum

Oct. 21-Nov. 1 for virtual events; Oct. 22-25 and Oct. 29-Nov. 1 for in-person museum visits

We've got it all! In-museum demos include sheep brain dissections, owl pellet exploration, and flesh eating beetle meet-and-greets! Also check out a new installation with a skull and skeleton focus, plus a few spooky surprises.

Join our virtual trick or treat, with a little (virtual) treat each day! It might be a skull pic, sketching bat specimens, or a downloadable mask! In addition, we'll have virtual programming throughout the time leading up to Halloween.

Plus, in the Whitney and Elizabeth MacMillan Planetarium, enjoy Minnesota Spooky Skies: zombies (satellites) and ghosts (nebulae) and demons (stars), oh my! Join us from October 22 to November 1 to learn what spooky specters are hiding in our night sky.
