Alf Museum of Paleontology
Videos and news from the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology at The Webb Schools.
The Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology is the only nationally accredited museum located on a secondary school campus—The Webb Schools. The vision for the museum was born on a camping trip in 1936 led by the late Raymond Alf, a Webb biology teacher with a penchant for searching for fossils. Today the museum holds over 140,000 specimens, with exhibits divided into the "Hall of Life," which traces the history of earth from the first cells through human civilization, and the "Hall of Footprints," which holds the most diverse display of fossilized animal tracks in the United States.
