UW-MADISON. Visitors are entranced by treasures the earth has given up at this fascinating museum. Focus is given to Wisconsin finds, including rocks, minerals, and mammal fossils such as giant beavers and mastadons. Remains of smaller, ocean-dwelling creatures can also be viewed, and visitors can discover how various classes of rocks are created and formed. Self-guided tours are common, and group tours can be arranged in advance. Gift and souvenir items are available as well.
