Curiosity + Culture: Explore the Burke Museum

Dig into the past (and the future) at the Burke Museum of Natural History & Culture, located on the University of Washington campus. This modern space brings science to life with real dinosaur fossils, Indigenous Northwest Coast art, and open labs where you can watch researchers work in real time. Whether you're into anthropology, biology, or just exploring something new, the Burke offers a thoughtful, interactive twist on the classic museum date. It's a great way to spark conversation and discover your shared curiosities. After your visit, unwind with handmade pasta and wine at Mamma Melina, or go for hearty North Indian dishes at Taste of India, a local favorite with generous portions and cozy vibes.
