The museum is noted for its outstanding bird collection as well as its natural habitat exhibits. It represents the combined efforts of Dr. Hilary Jurica, O.S.B., and his brother Dr. Edmund Jurica, O.S.B. who collected specimens for their students to study during their combined century of teaching. At the current time, the museum hosts more than 5,000 visitors every. Featured exhibits include an African savanna and Northern Illinois as it looked 200 years ago.
