This is the 11th day that the public hasn’t had access to the Acadamy of Natural Sciences.
Do the right thing, Drexel.
Open the doors.
Today is the 10th day of the public facing side of the Academy of Natural Sciences is closed.
We do not accept this decision, Drexel.
We want the museum open and its collections intact.
Hey, Drexel!
Well tell you what we want..
..what we really, really want:
We want an open, collections-intact Academy of Natural Sciences.
We want our money to support the museum and its collections.
It’s that simple.
Today is the 9th day that there is no public-facing side of the Academy of Natural Sciencez. Emails went out today offering membership refunds.
No thanks. We’d rather have our museum back.

Thank you, @miniminuteman.bsky.social , for inviting the Save the Academy coalition to attend both nights of your Philly show, and for shining a bright light on the museum’s closure. #savetheacademy
Today is the 8th day of not having a public-facing side of the Academy of Natural Sciences.
That is profoundly not ok.

Natural history museums are constantly moving specimens between one another, and undertaking important conservation work. But in the Fall of 2025, there was an unprecedented amount of work on public display. We're curious where those specimens are now… (Video from Mitchell Collier.)
An excellent article this morning from Peter Dorbin.
Where is the plan to #savetheacademy?
Right now, there are more questions than answers.
"The whole city is watching" -- and the whole country and scientific community as well.
Today has been the sixth day that Philadelphia has not had a public facing side of the Academy of Natural Sciences.
We can #savetheacademy.
Join us on Oct 26th. ❤️🦖

Thank you!!

This is the third day America doesn’t have access to the public side of the Academy of Natural Sciences.
We are demanding that change.
