Also of note on campus is the excellent Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at NE 45th Street and 17th Avenue NE. The Burke contains collections totaling over 3 million specimens. These collections are divided into three main divisions: Geology, Anthropology, and Zoology. We were moved by an exhibition called The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition, the story of Shackleton’s infamous 1914 journey to Antarctica as told through diary excerpts, film footage, and haunting photographs by the expedition’s photographer. (Open daily from 10 am to 5 pm except Thursday till 8 pm; 206-543-5590; www.washington.edu/burkemuseum.)
