The University welcomes the community to participate in Day at the Museum, a free event showcasing the University’s museums, galleries and collections. Along with the Wilbur D. May Museum, 13 campus units will be participating.

From science to art to history, there are a variety of disciplines explored in the museums on campus, and many activities to enjoy, including The Wolf Pack mascots will also be available for photos with visitors. More information, along with the full list of participating units, is available online.

Day at the Museum visitors can redeem stamps they receive at each museum on a “passport” for prizes and enter a raffle to win exclusive experiences and other items.

Last year’s Day at the Museum was the first time the event had been held since the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the event brought over 600 members of the community to campus.

“What a treat!” one community member shared in a survey after the event. “Campus was awesome. Docents at [the museums] were wonderful.”

Free parking is available in any of the parking garages and non-metered parking zones around the campus. Parking is not allowed in 24/7 reserved spots. Several food vendors in the Joe Crowley Student Union will be open during Day at the Museum, providing attendees with options for lunch between visiting museums.

The University’s online and interactive Day at the Museum map will help visitors navigate campus so they can easily find parking, check-in tables, food vendors, the passport prize redemption table and museums. The wayfinding feature also provides accessible paths across campus.
