Any student who has ever taken classes in Lapham Hall will recall \u2013 perhaps with a shudder \u2013 the hallway off the main entrance lined with display cases crowded with old taxidermy animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was sad. It was sad for a long time,\u201d said Gerlinde H\u00f6bel, an associate professor of biological sciences at UWM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c(The display) was basically just birds on shelves in darkness, collecting dust,\u201d added Wendy Shelton, a laboratory manager for the Biological Sciences Department laboratory courses. \u201cThey\u2019ve been sitting here untouched and unloved in our main thoroughfare for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, they decided to do something about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, when students and visitors walk into Lapham Hall, they\u2019ll get to visit the Mini Museum of Natural History<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mini Museum opened in August after more than a year of hard work by Shelton, biology graduate student Angela Mish, and a team of more than 25 biology and geology students. Together, the group collected, inventoried, cleaned, and restored hundreds of specimens to display in the (newly refurbished and brightly lit) cabinets. As its name suggests, the Mini Museum is quite small \u2013 just the length of the hallway \u2013 but visitors will be able to spend hours studying the exhibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a museum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shelton was the driving force behind building the Mini Museum. She is a UWM graduate twice over with a bachelor\u2019s and PhD in biological sciences. When she was hired as laboratory manager in 2025, Shelton found herself right back in Lapham Hall staring at the same dusty displays that she had stared at as a student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI took classes that used these specimens. I taught a course that used these specimens,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shelton, Mish, and H\u00f6bel lobbied for funds to upgrade the samples and then hosted workshops for interested students who wanted learn preservation techniques and help the department. Together, they topped up formalin, resealed specimen jars, and cleaned the taxidermy animals (\u201cWe polished eyeballs!\u201d said Shelton). They even received some tutoring in preservation from Julia Colby, the Zoology Collections Manager at the Milwaukee Public Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But simply spiffing up the samples wasn\u2019t enough for Shelton and her helpers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to just have (the hallway) be storage. We wanted it to be like, here\u2019s all the things you could learn about if you take a class in our department,\u201d said Mish, who is also the vice curator of the Mini Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do that, Mish, Shelton, and several other graduate students began to put together exhibits. Shelton broke the cabinets up into sections that explained over-arching topics, like the importance of scientific collections and taxidermy, animal adaptations and natural selection, the tree of life, and so on. She took special care that the displays featured concepts that students learn about in many of their biology classes, and invited students with relevant expertise to design several individual cabinets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, Mish designed a display that shows how animals use camouflage to blend in with their surroundings, both to hide from predators and to increase their chances of finding prey. Signage explains some of the methods animals use to adapt to their surroundings, and the in the display itself, visitors can hunt for seven critters hidden among the foliage. If you don\u2019t find them all, don\u2019t worry: The display includes a QR code so you can check your answer on the Mini Museum\u2019s website. There were 18 cabinet authors in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning at all levels<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Designing the exhibits was a fun challenge because Shelton wants the Mini Museum to be accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to help these dead creatures feel alive to people (so visitors) can use them to talk about living systems and to make the cabinets basically accessible to anyone \u2013 any education level, any interest, any height,\u201d she said, noting that children will visit the museum during events like Darwin Day<\/a> and Doors Open Milwaukee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new displays should also help UWM students pass the time between their classes, said Mish. They might even help students brush up on their coursework or introduce non-biology majors to some of the exciting things they can learn in a biology class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u00f6bel is excited for people to visit the Mini Museum, but she\u2019s also proud of the skills the graduate student volunteers gained as they learned about preservation and creating exhibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think people may have the misconception that science is all hard data, or it\u2019s all just numbers, or it\u2019s difficult,\u201d she said. \u201cNo, no. It\u2019s beautiful, it\u2019s creative, and you can use more skills than you may think you have. It\u2019s another way to teach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be a mini museum \u2013 but H\u00f6bel, Shelton, and Mish think it will make a big impact on everyone who visits Lapham Hall. The museum is open 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
