Possible online services disruption due to Internet related outage

A worldwide technology outage is causing disruption to some State of Illinois online systems.  We are aware of this issue and are diligently working on restoration.

The Illinois State Museum is temporarily closing its flagship facility to visitors beginning Thursday, August 1, 2024, to accommodate a plumbing project that will involve asbestos removal and construction. The project is expected to last three months.

Taste of ISM: The Ghost of Lincoln

ISM-Springfield, Research & Collections Center
The enduring Lincoln historical legacy often examines who Abe and his family were in life. Join us as we explore the Lincoln family decisions surrounding his death, community sightings of his ghost, and how the president's legacy continues to be influenced not only by history, but by folklore and legend. Taste of ISM celebrates the work and passion of the team of the Illinois State Museum. You’re invited to join us or a lunch and learn style program where you’ll hear stories about art, history, science, and the magical world of museums. You are welcome to bring your lunch to eat during the program, but lunch is not provided. This program will take place in-person at the ISM Research and Collections Center at 1011 E.
