Denver Museum of Nature and Science (DMNS) in Colorado, US, has secured US$3.75m (EUR3m, £2.4m) towards the construction of its new Collections Conservation Center.
The Avenir Foundation - a supporter of arts, cultural and educational activities - contributed the funding, which will also be used to support long-term collections conservation.
Part of the larger Rocky Mountain Science Collections Center, the new facility will provide a "consolidated and climate controlled home" for 1.4 million specimens and artefacts.
The Rocky Mountain Science Collections Center itself is part of DMNS' new Education and Collections Facility - a 126,000sq ft (11,706sq m) addition to the museum.
"This gift ensures that the stories, science, and wonder inherent in these natural and cultural artefacts will endure for future generations," said DMNS president and CEO George Sparks.
