Established in 1963, the museum's ten permanent exhibitions are anchored by its state-of-the-art collections and research facilities containing more than 1.6 million objects. These collections are used in studies on geological, biological, and cultural diversity, and the histories of living systems and human cultures within the Utah region. The museum hosts approximately 300,000 general visitors a year and broadens the reach of its mission through a variety of science-based outreach programs to communities and schools throughout Utah. Lisa Thompson is an exhibit developer and interpretive planner at the Natural History Museum of Utah, where she developed the ""Nature All Around Us"" exhibit. She is fascinated by how culture shapes the way we define nature and passionate about helping people connect to nature in their everyday lives."
