Habitat Hall -- Animals are shown in their natural habitats, such as the tundra, rain forest, and desert.

The Michigan State University Museum gives visitors a wonderful opportunity to explore the natural and cultural history surrounding this diverse world. Furthermore, the fact that the museum is somewhat smaller than other museums allows people to take their time to view the exhibits at a leisure pace.
