Where the dinosaurs died 66 million years ago, Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University opens March 2025 for explorers of all ages to experience life-size replicas of the fearsome creatures and their world. The world-class, $75 million museum managed by Founding Executive Director Kenneth Lacovara is just steps away from the historic quarry where our paleontologists continue to unearth more evidence of the mass extinction that changed everything at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Inside and out, museum visitors will be able to dive deep into Earth’s history to discover the past and protect the future as citizen scientists. Supported generously by alumni Jean Edelman and Ric Edelman, CBDA, EFM reflects their profound commitment to advancing education through philanthropy here at their alma mater, inspiring exploration, understanding and action.
