Arkansas State University Museum

We love being part of the Pack!

A-State Museum’s geocache, Rocky loves visitors, especially when they leave notes like these….

“Dear Rocky,
You are one cool stone! Thank you for the treasures and a memorable experience.”

“!!!
Walking to class & got bored! I found it!”

“Dear Rocky, I love you and your beautiful curves.”

Last but not least….

“Yo, Rock! Appreciate you keeping this a ‘rock-solid’ Geocache!
Great find! Go Rocky!”

We can’t wait to read your note to Rocky!!

Hello everyone! These adorable dolls were found in A-State Museum, wondering where their special friend is. If you happen to know who plays with these dolls, please bring that child to the museum office so they can be reunited with their best friend.

Thank you!

Edited to add: We have several other "friends" left behind as well. If you have noticed a special friend missing, please check with us.

Last Wednesday, we hosted regional art teachers for a relaxing afternoon of quilling. Learning the ancient art of curling paper was a snap for these awesome instructors. Here are a few examples of their work.

Looking for something to do this week? Join us for some special Tinkering Studio hours. Wednesday and Thursday (July 1-2) from 10 am to 4:30 pm. See you there!

Got a shout-out today from KAIT for a little known milestone in the museum's history. We recently celebrated our 50th anniversary as an accredited musuem with the American Alliance of Museums.

ON THIS DAY:

In 1973, the Arkansas State University Museum became legally recognized as an integral part of Arkansas State University, issuing a statement of permanence.

It's one of the first museums in the Southeast to be accredited by the American Association of Museums.
