The Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum is a natural history museum housed at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

The museum is named for Monte Lafayette Bean, a self-made Seattle-based magnate who entirely funded and paid for the museum building's construction. The Bean Museum opened in 1978, and is accredited by the American Association of Museums. It maintains collections of vascular and non-vascular plants, and invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Before 1978, it was known as the BYU Life Sciences Museum and did not have its own building.^[1]

Admission to the museum is free of charge.
