The University Museum offers over 30 exhibitions each year in the arts, humanities and sciences.
The University Museum serves Southern Illinois University Carbondale and its many constituencies, near and far, as a steward of the past and a gateway to the future. We collect, preserve, research, display and educate using a diverse and engaging range of artifacts and objects and educational methods. The Museum illuminates the local and world connections behind the arts, humanities, and sciences. As a teaching museum, we offer hands-on opportunities in progressive museum practices and provide leadership to museums across the region.
The Museum opened its doors in 1874. Beginning as a Natural History Museum, it has evolved into a general museum featuring the arts, humanities and sciences.
