Joe Webb Peoples Museum at Wesleyan University

The Joe Webb Peoples Museum received a nice donation from Ibby Newland (WES '26)- thank you, Ibby: a dinosaur footprint (Grallator) which she had inherited from her great-grandfather, Oliver Butterworth, author of the classic 1956 children's book 'The Enormous Egg' - yes, a dinosaur came out of that enormous egg.

A reminder that the Joe Webb Peoples Museum will once again have an Open House during Commencement weekend. Visit us Saturday May 22, 2-4 pm, both the Museum on the 4th floor of Exley, and our exhibits on the third floor (including the new mineral exhibit). And if you take a tour of the new Science building, look at the great fossils in their cladding stones: ammonites, belemnites, sponges and more! these are all from the same age and region in Bavaria of the famous Solnhofen fossils (the most famous one if Archaeopteryx) - look at our collections of fossils and casts in the Joe Webb Peoples Museum, including our exhibit on the 4th floor in the hallway.
