Need a break from classes? Want to take advantage of the spring weather? The U of A Museum is hosting a scavenger hunt through April 30!

From a 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite to a work of art from the 1990s, the U of A Museum houses a wide array of materials from around the globe and throughout time. They are highlighted in Scavenging Through Time, the museum's scavenger hunt around the main campus of the U of A in Fayetteville and on the museum's website.

Participants who complete scavenger hunt activities are entered for a chance to win one of two $25 Amazon gift cards.

There are 14 objects highlighted in the scavenger hunt. Participants can complete a unique prompt for each one on the museum's website.

  • Six of the object prompts are only accessible by entering a password. The passwords are found on yard signs around main campus.
  • The other eight object prompts can be accessed without a password.
  • Each prompt submitted counts towards the gift card drawings!

For any questions, contact Laurel Lamb, curator of education and engagement at lalamb@uark.edu or 479-575-4370.
