This will be one of the last behind-the-scenes tours given in the current Burke Museum before we move into our new building. Up to 12 students will get a personal, behind-the-scenes tour of the Burke's Mammal Collection. Participants will get to see the prep laboratory where mammals are prepared, as well as amazing bird, reptile and amphibian specimens that are typically kept tightly under wraps. The tour will be led by TOPS parent Jeff Bradley, Mammal Collection Manager at the Burke, and includes day admission to the Burke's public galleries.
