The University of Arkansas Museum would like to hear from you! 

Museum staff and Advisory Council members are seeking feedback to help shape a strategic plan for the museum. Share your thoughts about the University Museum in this quick survey.  

Stakeholder input from the campus community will significantly shape the plan. All feedback is welcome and valued.  

By completing the survey, you will help us improve how the University Museum meets the needs of the community today and in the future. Strategic planning is necessary for the museum’s growth. The plan will outline goals, strategies, priorities and action steps to address and achieve in the next five years. 

The survey will remain open through April 21.

About the University of Arkansas Museum: The University of Arkansas Museum traces its beginnings to the 1870s as a geology teaching collection. From a modest beginning, the collections grew to 7.5 million objects encapsulating the fields of archeology, ethnology, history, geology, and zoology. Today, the University Museum is an administrative unit of Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. Educators may request loans of collection materials for their classes or arrange to bring their classes to the University Collections Facility (2475 N. Hatch Ave.) for a visit. Objects and their associated documentation are available for comparative and research purposes by faculty, students and visiting scholars. We also fulfill our public service and outreach mission through programming and collection loans to regional community spaces.
