Periodically the museum undergoes special projects to enhance the visitor’s experience, create additional exhibits and take advantage of the many community partnerships available with Mississippi State University.
The museum’s Rain Garden is a joint development with the Mississippi State University Department of Landscape Architecture and includes a green roof pavilion, sustainable rain water collection and cistern, and native plants. The garden serves as a teaching model in sustainable landscaping.
