HMNS Beyond Bones Podcast
The HMNS Beyond Bones Podcast from the Houston Museum of Natural Science is an invitation to explore the vast and curious collection of over 2.5 million artifacts. This isn't just a tour of exhibits; it's a deep dive into the narratives embedded in everything from imposing dinosaur fossils to the minute beauty of a butterfly's wing. Each episode uses a specific object or a listener's question as a starting point, unraveling tales of natural history, scientific discovery, and human culture. You'll hear from the experts and curators who care for these treasures, gaining insights that connect a single, intricately carved seashell to broader themes in our world. The conversations in this podcast naturally extend beyond the museum's walls, examining how science intersects with our daily lives and shared history. It’s for anyone with a lingering question about how the world works or a simple wonder about the stories waiting inside a museum drawer. Tune in for a thoughtful and accessible blend of science, culture, and education, all sparked by the real objects housed in Houston.
