Breakfast Club is a monthly opportunity for volunteers to take a peek behind the scenes, learn more about the research that goes on in Museum collections, and build relationships with NHMU’s collections staff. Tours are typically held on the 4th Saturday of each month, in the morning before the Museum opens to the public. Attending a Breakfast Club event can be counted as volunteer service hours under the "Continuing Education" assignment.

Breakfast Club is our monthly opportunity for volunteers to take a peek behind the scenes, learn more about the research that goes on in Museum collections, and build relationships with NHMU’s collections staff. This month, we will have a tour of our archaeology collections, guided by Lisbeth Louderback, our Curator of Archaeology! Lisbeth will show some of her latest research efforts in collections. After the tour, you’ll have a chance to ask questions and get to know Lisbeth over breakfast (provided by the Volunteer Program). Space for this in-person tour is limited, so RSVP to volunteers@nhmu.utah.edu if you’d like to attend!
You can also watch the tour from home online. Join Breakfast Club online by clicking this link at the meeting time: https://utah.zoom.us/j/95014456691. You'll be asked for a password. It's "NHMU".
