We are unveiling "Blurred Realities," our latest exhibition from the CoLab Studio in our main gallery. "Blurred Realities" invites you to examine the dilemmas tied to dis/mis/information, artificial intelligence, and shifting perceptions of truth. Come and see, open through July 18, 2026!

The reopening has begun! Thank you to everyone who came on this snowy January day to celebrate the MSU Museum!

We are rolling out the red carpet for our guests at the reopening! MSU Museum staff have been busy making everything perfect for our first visitors after the long renovation!

Tomorrow is our reopening! In addition to "Blurred Realities" in the Main Gallery, the MSU Museum is full of new exhibitions like "X-Ray Vision: Fish Inside Out," a Smithsonian exhibition showcasing dramatic digital X-ray images of fish skeletons. (Seen here behind-the-scenes).

Have an idea for an Ignite Talk? Our submissions are open until January 19! Ignite Talks MSU features the fast-paced presentations of student researchers, where each talk is five minutes with 20 slides that auto-advance every 15-seconds. Submit now: buff.ly/lMl0oQH

In only three more days, you'll be able to visit our Science on a Sphere again! This large interactive globe, developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is an immersive data visualization system that allows visitors to explore a wide range of datasets and animations in 3D.

Only four days left! Look at all these chairs in our new Commons space. Chairs that YOU could be sitting in when you attend our opening on Wednesday, January 14! This space and stage will host many events in the upcoming semester too, from talks to workshops and performances.

Five days remaining until our opening! Our new welcome desk is set up and ready to greet our guests at the ground floor accessible entrance. We can't wait to see everyone! Are you coming to our opening? buff.ly/B2OWAuB

6 days until we reopen! In our Main Gallery, we will be unveiling a new CoLab exhibition, "Blurred Realities." Come meet exhibitors and program partners, engage with our team of student CoLaborators, and hear a DJ set from John “Jammin” Collins, and enjoy refreshments.

7 more days until our reopening! Time to address the elephants in the room . . . they're back! Our elephant skeletons have returned to the second floor landing after being carefully removed and stored during the renovations. Watch the timelapse of the reinstallation here: buff.ly/iaZVvc3

Only 8 more days until the MSU Museum reopens! We have been hard at work preparing new exhibitions, including "Blurred Realities," the upcoming CoLab Studio exhibition! Attend the opening to see the unveiling: buff.ly/TErEBM2

Only nine days until we reopen! New exhibitions are coming as some familiar faces return. Our elephant skeletons and mammoth fossil are back! We hope to see you too on January 14: buff.ly/ChjIxiM

10 days until our reopening! The MSU Museum has undergone many changes, inside and out! New windows, ventilation, exhibition spaces, and more! We can't wait to show everyone. Are you coming? buff.ly/ChjIxiM

11 days until we reopen! While we can't wait to share the many exciting updates, some of the important work of the renovation is hidden behind the scenes. Although critical upgrades to the climate control system can't be seen by visitors, everyone will enjoy the new air conditioning and ventilation!

12 days until we reopen! Handling the renovations of the historic MSU Museum building required careful planning and infrastructure to ensure no artifacts were damaged. While most artifacts moved offsite during the construction work, our dinosaur bone casts stayed behind, protected by scaffolding.

The MSU Museum reopens in 13 days! We have been on a long journey renovating since July 2024. Follow along as we recap the work completed and show off some sneak peeks of what's the come before the grand reopening on January 14!

New year, new museum. We can’t wait to welcome you back! We'll be counting down the days until we reopen on January 14, 2026, so stay tuned!
