How We Came to Be UA Museums as we currently know it -- a collection of multiple museums under a single administrative umbrella -- stems from a reorganization in 1990. Prior to that all the museums were under the Alabama Museum of Natural History at UA. Until 1961 the museum(s) were part of the Geological Survey of Alabama, reflecting the museums' roots in the work of pioneering geologist E.A. Smith. In 2017 UA Museums joined the College of Arts and Sciences, The University of Alabama's largest division and the academic core of the University. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!
