Spurlock Museum, University museum in Urbana, United States.
The Spurlock Museum is a university museum in Urbana that collects and displays objects from many cultures and time periods around the world. Its holdings span several permanent sections that offer a global overview of human creativity and history.
The museum was founded in 1911 and initially focused on classical archaeology and art. Its name changed in 2000 after a major donation expanded the collection and reshaped the institution.
The collections show objects from different parts of the world and reflect how various cultures tell their stories through material things. Visitors see craftsmanship and personal items that reveal daily life in distant lands and earlier times.
The museum is open several days a week, but it is worth checking the exact hours in advance as they vary by season. Access is easy to find, and the spaces are well organized for visitors.
Only a small portion of the total collection is on display at any given time, as many objects must remain in storage. This protects sensitive works and allows regular exchanges between exhibitions.
