An absolutely beautiful, staggering collection of insects from around the world. The faculty and students that work with the collection are knowledgeable and inspiring. If you get a chance to tour the collection on Cal Day or Darwin Day (Feb 12th), take it!

Like all the museums in Valley life science building, the Essig museum is not open to the public, and is a research museum. But it has an incredible collection, which is open to the public on Cal day, once a year on a Saturday in April.
