MISSION: The Illinois State Museum inspires exploration of Illinois' past and present to inform and enrich everyday life and to promote stewardship of cultural and natural resources for the future.ABOUT US: Illinois is a diverse state, both in its geography and its people, stretching 400 miles from north to south and 200 miles east to west. To be effective, the Illinois State Museum must reach into all corners of Illinois, seeking stories, starting conversations, and providing opportunities for learning and growth. Only by adapting to current needs and by listening to the voices of patrons, visitors, and friends can the Museum continue to serve Illinoisans and everyone else curious about Illinois' history. No other institution is so uniquely qualified to share the Story of Illinois.VISION: The Illinois State Museum will connect the world to the Story of Illinois and encourage and inspire all to explore, discover, learn and share their experience.As a principal steward of objects that embody the story of Illinois' natural and human history, the Museum will seek to be a unique marketplace of information and educational experiences for current and future generations. Visitors and researchers alike will have the opportunity to see authentic objects and engaging exhibits at all Museum facilities as well as online through a rich, new generation of digital assets and experiences including images, interactives, and educational content. -The ISM is a division of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
