Dubbed the "Dinosaur Museum" by the locals, we're the state natural history museum of Oklahoma! Find us — and our bevy of dinos — on the @UofOklahoma campus!
The Sam Noble Museum believes that discovery is better when it’s shared—and this holiday season, you helped us do just that.
Thanks to the Norman community, our trolley is full, bringing joy to families across town. ❤️🦖
