Museum of the Rockies will be closed to the public March 17 through March 31

As a public health precaution due to COVID-19, Museum of the Rockies will be closed to the public March 17 through March 31. The health and safety of our community, members, visitors, staff, and volunteers is a top priority. This is a preventative action to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Museum staff will continue to work from the museum or from their homes, depending on the nature of their job. They will be available via email or phone.

We look forward to reopening on April 1 to share Montana with the world and the world with Montana – and our wonderful new exhibit, Reptiles: The Beautiful and the Deadly.

Montana State University (MSU) is closely monitoring COVID-19 with information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization and in consultation with the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, the Gallatin City-County Health Department, and their own health professionals on campus.

MSU campuses will remain open and operational for students. This includes residence halls, dining services, computer labs, and most other campus services. Employees will continue to report to work unless instructed otherwise. Work-from-home accommodations are being developed for individual cases.
