The move follows the decision for Morrill Hall to join Museums for All, a group of 400 attractions in 48 states that encourages people of all demographics to visit museums more regularly.
“We are committed to supporting opportunities for Nebraskans to connect with the research that impacts their lives,†said Susan Weller, museum director. “The Museums for All program will enable more children and their families to experience museum exhibits and programs.â€

Archie at Morrill Hall
Archie, the life-size bronze replica of an ancient Nebraska mammoth at the University of Nebraska State Museum, gets his biennial wash from J.R. Elkins (left) and Colby Cochran of G and M Window Services in 2012 in front of Morrill Hall in Lincoln. Patterned after the giant fossil skeleton on display in the museum's Elephant Hall, the statue is 15 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 5,000 pounds -- considerably less than the 15-ton mass of the real Archie who roamed the Plains 30,000 years ago.
