Explore natural Florida
Many are surprised to learn the Florida Museum of Natural History (formerly the Florida State Museum) began in the 1890s, long before the University of Florida or the Gators football team.
Visitors can enjoy live butterflies, witness a South Florida Calusa Indian welcoming ceremony, experience a life-size limestone cave and see a mammoth and mastodon from the last Ice Age. Permanent exhibits include Northwest Florida: Waterways & Wildlife, South Florida People & Environments, Florida Fossils: Evolution of Life and Land, and the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, which features the screened, outdoor Butterfly Rainforest exhibit.
This video was featured on the Gainesville Television Network's My Florida Showcase during the summer and fall of 2010.
The Florida Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday year round. It is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
17'7 Burmese python rearticulation
This time-lapse video shows the rearticulation of a massive 17’7” Burmese python conducted at the Florida Museum of Natural History in 2014. Museum researchers performing a necropsy on the snake in 2012 discovered it weighed 164.5 pounds and contained 87 eggs, both Florida state records for this invasive species.
The animal was brought to the museum on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville after it was captured in Everglades National Park as part of a long-term project with the U.S. Department of the Interior to research methods for managing the state's invasive Burmese python problem. The snake, part of the Everglades National Park museum collection, will be displayed at the Florida Museum of Natural History before it is returned to Everglades National Park.
Native to Southeast Asia and first found in the Everglades in 1979, the Burmese python is one of the deadliest and most competitive predators in South Florida. With no known natural predator, population estimates for the python range from the thousands to hundreds of thousands. They were determined to be an established species in 2000 and are a significant concern, said Florida Museum herpetologist Kenneth Krysko.
Florida has the world's worst invasive reptile and amphibian problem. Krysko led a 20-year study published in September 2011 in Zootaxa showing 137 non-native species were introduced to Florida between 1863 and 2010. The study verified the pet trade as the No. 1 cause of species introductions, and the Burmese python was one of 56 non-native species determined to be reproducing and established in the state. These numbers have increased since the 2011 study.

Levy County Montbrook Site Producing Many Fossil Finds
November 2018 marks three years since Levy County landowners Eddie and Julie Hodge first contacted the Florida Museum of Natural History after finding fossils on their property. Since that time, Museum researchers and volunteers working at the site near Williston have discovered more than 30,000 identifiable fossils. More than 750 people have worked over 18,000 hours at the site, and volunteers are still discovering new animals and parts of skeletons that haven't previously been found. These finds include a few species new to science, as well as the oldest-known fossils of a river otter in North America, some of the oldest examples of living species of alligator, including multiple skulls and skeletons, and an antler of the oldest fossil deer found in North America, to name a few.

Megalodon: Largest Shark that Ever Lived exhibit install time lapse
This photo sequence shows the 10-day installation of the Florida Museum of Natural History’s featured exhibit “Megalodon: Largest Shark that Ever Lived,” on display at the museum in Gainesville on the University of Florida campus through Jan. 4, 2015. More than 1,500 photographs were taken from a camera installed near the ceiling and programmed to take an image every 8 to 30 minutes depending on activity level. Of the 1,500 images captured, 770 were used in the final time lapse--those taken at the end of the day or at night when there was no activity were removed. The photos were taken with a Nikon D200 camera with a 10.5 mm fisheye lens in aperture priority setting.
