Recent Acquisitions
A mini-exhibit featuring a selection of recently donated objects to the SHSND's collections. As an annual project done by SHSND interns, the Recent Acquisitions exhibit is rotated each summer. Past exhibits have included Votes for Women pencils, North Dakota state quarter memorabilia, and objects from the recent Iraq war.

Dakota the Mummified Dinosaur
Recently, one of the rarest types of dinosaur fossils was found near Marmuth, North Dakota - a mummified duck-billed dinosaur. For a limited period of time, portions of the “dino-mummy” will be exhibited for public viewing, revealing 65 million year old secrets about how dinosaurs looked and behaved.
