While the State Museum is closed to the public, we are committed to continuing to fulfill our mission to providing educational environments that entertain and inspire.

Museum curators and educators are continuing to develop e-learning resources and suggested links for other online resources. This information is free and available to the public at scmuseum.org. We will continue to update this list weekly.

New Public Outreach Resource

The museum is closed to the public but curators are still hard at work (from home). For those curious about their heirlooms, pieces of artwork, objects found while cleaning up, etc. the museum is introducing a new online Object Information Request Form. Members of the public can submit the form and museum staff will be in touch to help identify objects, find research and offer conservation resources. To learn more visit scmuseum.org.
