The museum was founded by the Young Naturalists Society in 1885 . In 1899 the legislature named it the Washington State Museum. Its present building was built in 1962 via a bequest from the estate of Caroline McGilvra Burke, at which point the museum was renamed in honor of her late husband Judge Thomas Burke .
