Body
The Grand Rapids Public Museum is a place of never-ending inspiration and discovery, with a focus on science, history and culture. We exist to be a living monument of artifacts, ideas and stories told through exhibitions, events and educational programming designed to inspire, motivate and celebrate our human bond. 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.
