	Now the Gateway Science Museum Exploring the Natural History of the North State!
	The Gateway Science Museum (formerly the Northern California Natural History Museum, NCNHM) is currently under development through the College of Natural Sciences on the campus of California State University, Chico. Currently, we are a "museum without walls." We do not have a facility open to the public. When developed, the museum will be a state-of-the-art natural history museum celebrating the region's natural beauty and resources. Permanent and traveling exhibits, as well as education programs for Northern California's schoolchildren, will further the museum's mission.
	Construction has begun. See images of the building under construction.
	We offer many educational programs for the public. Legacy Paving Stones on sale now!
