Georgia Southern University Museum Reopens

After almost three years of major architectural renovations, the Georgia Southern University Museum on the Statesboro Campus reopened to the public on Oct. 10.

“It has been a long project, but well worth the journey,” said Georgia Southern Museum Director Brent Tharp, Ph.D. “The upgraded facility and newly designed galleries represent a new era for the museum. Visitors will still find old friends, like the mosasaur, but exhibited in new, more exciting ways, and will make new discoveries with never-before-exhibited artifacts in expanded permanent exhibits preserving the area’s culture. We are really excited to be back open to the public.”

Located on the Statesboro Campus’ Sweetheart Circle in the Rosenwald Building, the Georgia Southern Museum is open weekly, Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Sunday, 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. It is closed Monday, Saturday and on University holidays.

Admission to the museum is $4 per person. Children 3 years of age and younger, museum members and Georgia Southern students receive free admission.
