Michigan State University Museum is the science and culture museum at the University, committed to understanding, interpreting, and respecting natural and cultural diversity. As Michigan's land-grant university museum, this commitment to society is met through education, exhibitions, research, and the building and stewardship of collections that focus on Michigan and its relationship to the Great Lakes, and the world beyond.
The MSU Museum is Michigan's first Smithsonian Institution affiliate and is a public steward for nearly a million objects and specimens in Anthropology, Natural Science, Folk Arts, and History from around the world.
