At the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, membership opens the door to experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
From behind-the-scenes collection tours and curator-led talks to family science workshops, exhibit previews and special evenings in the museum, our members-only events bring you closer to the science, the stories and the people who make discovery happen. It’s our way of saying thank you — and of creating meaningful, memorable moments just for you.
Members-Only Collections Tours: Ichthyology
Wednesday, March 18, 2026
11:00 a.m.-11:45 a.m.
Ichthyology has been a part of research at the Academy since its beginnings, and over the years, it has grown in size and importance over the last 127 years. The collection currently houses an estimated 1.5 million cataloged specimens. The department’s research stretches worldwide, but its strengths include freshwater species of North and South America and marine species of the Bahamas, Western Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
During this members-only tour, Curator of Ichthyology Mark Sabaj Pérez will showcase a few of our most impressive specimens hidden inside this remarkable collection.
Space is very limited. This members-only program is free, but registration is required. Members, please sign in to register for this program.
