June 11–July 19, 2026
Explore surprising connections between soccer and natural history at the Natural History Museum this summer.
Follow a self-guided scavenger hunt through the galleries to find collection connections inspired by soccer — from animal athletes and team mascots to natural armor, rolling motion, fossils, patterns, and ball games across cultures. Look for special in-gallery moments that link Museum objects to soccer, movement, play, team symbols, host countries, and the global spirit of the game.
Stop by pop-up Museum educator carts throughout the Museum to handle touchable specimens and explore soccer-mascot-inspired connections through hands-on conversations.
What to expect:
- Pop-up Museum educator carts with touchable specimens
- Self-guided soccer connections scavenger hunt
- In-gallery soccer connections moments
- Online virtual tour
This experience is included with general admission.
