Museum Tours
Welcome!
The Museum is open whenever school is in session. The displays are illuminated from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The planetarium on the second floor is open by appointment only. The Museum and Nature Trail are free to the public. Monetary donations are always accepted to support Museum activities. Families are welcome. Thank you for helping keep this a fun and educational place for everyone.
Sewell Hall, where the Museum is located, is an educational facility. Please remember this is a college where students are attending classes. We ask that museum visitors please respect the needs of others by speaking and moving around quietly. We ask that visitors do not run around and do not climb on the displays. Please keep your fingerprints with you; don’t leave them on the cases.
