“The Alabama Museum of Natural History, located in Smith Hall, the first building to be built on the University of Alabama campus in the twentieth century, is one of the finest examples of Classical Revival architecture in the region.”
“Experience the natural diversity of Alabama through exhibits from the Age of Dinosaurs, the Coal Age, and the Ice Age. View extensive collections of geology, zoology, mineralogy, paleontology, ethnology, history, and photography. Explore the Alabama Museum of Natural History housed in historic Smith Hall, one of the finest examples of Beaux-Arts architecture in the region. See the Hodges meteorite, the only meteorite know to have struck a human.”

We visited the Natural History Museum as a class the other day. It was very enjoyable, and it is definitely something I'd recommend every University of Alabama student visit at some time during their time in Tuscaloosa. My favorite exhibit was the Hodges Meteorite—the first known meteorite to actually hit a person, and it happened right here in Alabama!
Of course, best of all, the museum is free for all students!!
