Spurlock Museum, University museum in Urbana, United States.

The Spurlock Museum maintains five permanent galleries with over 51,000 artifacts representing different civilizations and periods from around the world.

Established in 1911 as the Museum of Classical Archaeology and Art, the institution received its current name in 2000 following a major donation.

The museum houses significant collections including ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets, Chinese wood carvings, and artifacts from Arctic expeditions between 1913 and 1917.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday, with varying hours starting from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays and shorter hours during weekends.

Only five percent of the museum's extensive collection appears on display at any time, ensuring constant rotation and preservation of sensitive artifacts.
