The MSU Museum aims to engage and inspire campus and community through science and culture. The Museum is one of the earliest established museums in the nation and has continued to preserve collections and serve learners since its opening on the campus in 1857. We are committed to exploring ways to integrate scientific and humanistic understandings of our changing world and our place within it.
