Explore variations in biodiversity through our latest exhibit, Documenting Diversity, on the museum's fifth floor.  This exhibit shares nine stories that highlight variation. Featured specimens include fishes, flowering plants, frogs, snails, squirrels, and fossil arthropods and mammals. Our research collections record and document variation and are critical to understanding and protecting biological diversity. Learn about Topeka Shiners, hear the Fanged frog calls and more!
