33,072 historical source records · 50 states + Washington, DC

A nationwide starting point, with a history of its own.

This directory contains 33,072 historical records from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Museum Universe dataset, distributed through Kaggle. The downloaded copy does not identify a definitive release date; it is a legacy dataset, not a current census. Retrieved October 18, 2026 (UTC). It includes historic preservation organizations, gardens, zoos, and other related institutions as well as museums. Listings are source records, not a verified count of unique, currently operating visitor attractions.

Some organizations may have closed, moved, changed names, or may not admit visitors. Confirm opening status, hours, admission, accessibility, and group arrangements directly. Physical addresses are preferred when supplied; otherwise the administrative address is displayed and may be a mailing address. “Find website” opens a web search, not a verified official website. Telephone numbers are historical and unverified.
