Discovery Room

Visitors to the Museum are encouraged to experience what life may have been like for McLean County's early settlers in the Harriet Fuller Rust Discovery Room.

The Merwin Gallery features almost 300 objects from the Museum's 18,000+ object collection. In this display space, objects from the collection will be moved in and out of the gallery regularly so visitors can return again and again, always to see something new.
