Draper Museum of Natural History
The Draper Museum of Natural History features approximately 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) of interactive exhibits highlighting geology, wildlife, and human presence in the Greater Yellowstone region. Videos, natural history dioramas and photography replicate the sights, sounds, and smells of the area, and specimens of grizzlies, wolves, bighorn sheep, moose, elk and other wildlife are on display. The Draper Museum of Natural History opened to the public on June 4, 2002 and bears the name of Nancy Carroll-Draper, Buffalo Bill Historical Center trustee and benefactor. The Draper museum also houses adult and children's classrooms and the John Bunker Sands photography gallery. The renovation and expansion was designed by Curtis W. Fentress.

“Always clung to by barnacles.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 2661, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
“The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her; on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit.”
—St. Ignatius Of Loyola (1491–1556)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
