The Grand Rapids Public Museum, located on the bank of the Grand River in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, is among the oldest history museums in the United States. It was founded in 1854 as the "Grand Rapids Lyceum of Natural History". In 1971, the Public Museum became the first museum to be accredited by the American Association of Museums.
We enrich the life of our community through experiences of the wider world in a uniquely Grand Rapids context. We host three full floors of core exhibits, various traveling exhibits through each year, a 1928 Spillman Carousel for visitors to ride and the newly updated Chaffee Planetarium.
