Museum of the Rockies (MOR) welcomes members and visitors daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering a captivating experience for all.

Primary Exhibition Update: We are currently preparing for the arrival of Under a Common Sky, a new American Indian exhibition that will serve as the primary replacement for the former Enduring Peoples American Indian exhibition. In the interim, we are featuring a temporary photographic display, The Northern Pacific Railroad by Ron V. Nixon, as a placeholder until the new exhibition opens.

In addition to the main museum, MOR encompasses other exciting attractions such as the Museum Store, Taylor Planetarium, and Explore Yellowstone in the Martin Children's Discovery Center. These venues operate at different hours from the main museum.

For detailed information regarding their operating hours, we recommend visiting the Plan Your Visit page, where you will find comprehensive information to plan your visit.
