EXPANDING THE VISION FOCUS GALLERY The Museum presents at least three new exhibits every year to expand on themes found in the permanent galleries and to introduce collections representing a wider range of cultures. The exhibits in the Focus Gallery highlight Museum collections not installed in the feature galleries as well as artifacts on loan from around the world. NATURAL HISTORY WING The University of Illinois Museum of Natural History, which is housed in the campus's Natural History Building, is now a division of the Spurlock Museum. Staff members in each section of the Museum have extended their training and skills to be able to preserve, exhibit, record, and teach about the highly varied natural history collections. They have also developed educational programs that combine the natural history and cultural aspects of the two museums. As the doors of the Spurlock Museum open, the staff look forward to the time when it is possible to build a Natural History Wing of the Spurlock Museum—the next logical stage in the Museum's evolution.
