Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about the museum:

The museum focuses on the form and function of the skeletal system with numerous educational and taxonomic displays featuring all five vertebrate classes.  The collections housed by the Museum of Osteology are the result of over 40 years of collecting by Jay Villemarette.  Currently, the collections consist of approximately 7,000 specimens representing over 1,800 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. The museum hosts a multitude of fun educational opportunities and events for all ages. According to the website, one of the main goals of these programs is to make people excited about the natural world and inspire conservation efforts.

There are also many opportunities for museum guests to touch real bone and take pictures with fully articulated skeletons.

Since its opening, over 500,000 guests from all over the world have come to the museum to see the displays, fill out scavenger hunts, explore the collection for research papers, and pick up commemorative items from the gift shop.
