| The
Buffalo Museum of Science, through collections, research, education and interpretation,
provides opportunities for all people to develop a scientific understanding of
the natural and cultural world with an emphasis on the Greater Niagara Region.
The Museum challenges everyone to use their knowledge of science to enhance respect
for each other and the environment.  Founded
in 1861, the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences has been collecting, studying
and providing learning experiences for the people of the Greater Niagara Region
for138 years. The Society operates the Buffalo Museum of Science and Tifft Nature
Preserve.
A
significant part of the Museum's 667,901 specimens pertain to the Greater Niagara
Region and form by far the most complete record of life in all of its forms in
this area in anthropology, botany, entomology, mycology, paleontology and zoology
. They provide a good representation of the present and past natural history of
the Niagara Frontier of New York and adjacent Ontario, as well as material of
worldwide provenance of value in teaching, exhibition and research.
