Here at the Two Medicine Dinosaur Center, we believe that the best way to learn something is to experience it. That’s why we’re one of the only museums in the state of Montana to allow, if not encourage, public participation in scientific research. Our public participants can experience the world of paleontology firsthand. We achieve this primarily through our public excavation programs, volunteer programs and seminars.

Since its inception in 1995, the Two Medicine Dinosaur Center has drawn thousands of visitors to the Rocky Mountain front in north-central Montana every year. This non-profit organization receives no tax money for its operational costs, but provides invaluable services to the public through paleontological field programs, exciting exhibitions, scientific publications and consultations. Its dedicated staff deliver one of the only museum-focused field programs available to the general public in Montana.

The Two Medicine Dinosaur Center is home to a wide variety of dinosaur fossils, invertebrate fossils, plant fossils, and cultural artifacts. Research collections include new species of dinosaurs and other prehistoric life forms. The Two Medicine Dinosaur Center offers both casts and complete exhibits at other institutions, both as permanent and traveling exhibits, bringing the unique findings of the Rocky Mountain Front to a wide range of people. On permanent display at Bynum are some of Montana’s rarest fossil finds, including the first baby Maiasaura bones from the nearby Egg Mountain.
