The museum's galleries are in Dyche Hall on the university's main campus in Lawrence, Kansas . The galleries are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

The museum has developed some ground breaking programs in the area of collection management and biodiversity informatics, which uses collections data for forecasting environmental phenomena. The museum has a 3D scanner and has used it to create 3D image scans of its invertebrate fossil collection. In 2006 and 2007, the museum's insect researchers and collection, along with its collection of bird skeletons and parts of its extensive mammal collection, were moved to a new facility on the university's West Campus.
