Reviews
"Woke bigots have taken over the museum leadership and removed nearly all historical objects that originate from non-whites. You are only allowed to learn about white culture here. If you're a native American, too bad, you can't learn about your ancestors. That would be racist. They said many of the artifacts have been reburied, preventing future generations from learning about the past. Mostly an empty building with not much left to see."
"Visited here while in town. Had kids with me. The exhibits are not very kid friendly and a good majority of them are closed due to "repatriation". Instead of spending a bunch of money on closure signs talking about repatriation, I feel like the museum could make better use of the spaces with a new exhibit or obtain other artificats for the current exhibits. Hopefully they are in the process of this change. The museum was not very busy at all when I visited which was mid day on a weekday in the summer. Tickets are free which was good."
"This museum was interesting and worth a visit. There were lots of exhibits and not just plaque reading. You have to register online before visiting; tickets are free. To park you have to visit the parking info desk on circle park drive and get a 2 hour pass. Google maps will take you to a student parking lot."
"It was a pretty cool museum. Exhibits in order of what I thought was coolest; art from around the world, geology history, ancient Egypt, human origins, mussels exhibit, native peoples exhibit. Get a parking pass at the parking information center then park and go on in. Restrooms, but no wifi. Also, half of the native was taken down due to 'Removed for repatriation'."
"For an entirely free exhibit it is fairly excellent. Some of the displays seem to change out from time to time based on what I've seen in some of the photos, and of course some of the exhibits feature replicas however it still represents a very good idea of what the original one was like (actually I tend to think it's best that museums don't place the original artifact on display) which is normally at a much larger museum. This museum can be walked through quickly though I advise taking in the detail for a decent 2 hours (I walked in forgetting the hour was moved ahead though still managed to compose decent photographs, which is what I intended to do.)"
