The Sue & Frank Mayborn Natural Science and Cultural History Museum Complex (abbreviated as MMC) is a 142,000-square-foot (13,200 m2) facility that opened in May 2004 at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
This collection eventually became the university museum and was later named for its curator, John Kern Strecker, in 1940.
[1] The Strecker Museum was housed in various locations on the Baylor campus prior to the construction of the Mayborn Museum Complex, including Caroll Library, Pat Neff Hall, and the Sid Richardson Science Building, where it was permanently housed from 1968 until 2003.
[2] In response to a call for a place where local children could find excitement for learning, the Youth Cultural Center was founded in 1965, led by Ollie Mae Moen.
[3] The Historic Village was donated to Baylor University by Governor Bill Daniel and his family in 1985.
