Bean Life Science Museum hosts free nativity scene

The Bean Life Science Museum at Brigham Young University has opened its annual Nativity exhibit showcasing some of the museum's most exotic animals witnessing the birth of the Savior.

Every Christmas season, Kenneth Packer and the museum exhibits team apply their creative skills to this display. It has been expanded this year to include many new animals to add to the already spectacular scene of years past.

To see the unique nativity, visit the museum Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Admission to all museum exhibits is always free. 

For additional information, contact the museum at 801-422-5051 or visit the museum’s website at mlbean.byu.edu.
