For 2022, we are bringing the collections together for a free, in-person UC Davis Biodiversity Museum Day Exposition at the UC Davis Conference Center on Sunday, March 6, 2022 from 11 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

​We had initially planned it for mid-February, but due to COVID we moved it to March. We will have reduced capacity for the indoor ballrooms so that visitors can keep distanced. 

Traditionally UC Davis Biodiversity Museum Day is a free, educational event for the community where visitors get to connect with UC Davis scientists from undergraduate students to staff to emeritus professors. We continue to  maintain that spirit, but adapted for COVID safety, so come and join us as we explore amazing objects and organisms from all around the world!

NEW COVID Policies

Attendees will be required to:
  • Show CDC Vaccination Record Card (phone image acceptable) or the State of California Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record as proof 
  • Show a state-issued photo ID that matches the vaccine record 
  • Wear a properly fitted mask at all times inside the conference center and when engaging with outside Biodiversity Museum Day activities.
Per CDC guidance, we highly encourage the use of higher grade N95 or KN95 masks for the utmost protection. Alternatively, a procedural mask under a cloth mask (double masking) or a procedural mask alone is acceptable. Please avoid the use of cloth masks alone.

Alternately, UC Davis Students, Staff and Faculty can present an Approved Daily Symptom Survey with a photo ID.   

Children under 5, and visitors who are unable to get vaccinated, or eligible visitors who have not received a booster must show a negative COVID-19 test result from the last 48 hours. (Must be a lab/PCR/TMA test) Point-of-Care Antigen Tests must be administered within 24 hours of the event time. Home Antigen tests will not be accepted.

*A photo ID will not be required for minors who are accompanied by an adult.
