2023 is a dynamic year of change for your art museum!
The Snite Museum of Art has closed its doors. The immense and exciting task of moving and installing the collections in the new Raclin Murphy Museum of Art has begun.
The Raclin Murphy Museum of Art will open to the public later this year. Keep an eye on this monthly newsletter, social media, and the new [Raclin Murphy Museum of Art](https://t.e2ma.net/click/dpzv4h/95x6nidc/thoq00) website for up-to-date news and information.

THE CHARLES B. HAYES FAMILY SCULPTURE PARK
Explore over nine acres of art and nature along Eddy Street on the southern edge of campus.
The [Charles B. Hayes Family Sculpture Park](https://t.e2ma.net/click/dpzv4h/95x6nidc/lnrq00) is open all day, every day of the year. Spend time exploring the restored native prairie and discovering the nine sculptures that call the Park home. The Park is well-lighted at night, gently sloping paved paths wind throughout, natural limestone benches are placed at scenic points, and four-legged friends on leashes are welcome (doggy bag stations can be found throughout the Park).
THE RACLIN MURPHY MUSEUM OF ART
The Raclin Murphy Museum will open this fall. Until then, learn more about what’s in store!
