We are bringing our creepy crawly insects with us for this Thrilling Thursday (TONIGHT!) downtown, from 6-8 p.m. Not only will you be able to learn about and see real bugs, you will also get to participate in activities! Come and get your own magnifying glass and some other goodies, and look through the grass at Town Center to see what types of things are living right under our feet. Make sure you wear your old clothes because you may want to paint your hands and feet as well! Soap and water will be provided, but this is a ?dig in? type of event and you never know what you might find once you get here! Thrilling Thursdays are presented in part by Isabella Community Credit Union! Visit them at 
We hope you heard us on

Hannah Gulick and her husband Ben, also a CMU alumnus (2013), moved to Japan in the summer of 2016 when she was hired as an English teacher at a senior high school. She majored in Anthropology and History and minored in Museum Studies. Hannah says, "If not for my time at CMU, I would never have found my passion for Japanese culture, which then led me to move to Japan and find my other passion: teaching!" She and Ben plan on moving back to the U.S. in August. Hannah hopes to return to the field of museum work. The photo was taken in Numata Park, Numata City, Japan, in front of one of the famous cherry blossom trees in Numata Park. For more information about the Museum Studies minor, go to 
Six young people were selected for participation in Curious Curators 2018 by writing an essay describing their interest in museums. They spent the day with Museum permanent staff and Museum Assistants exploring history and natural history collections, the dermestid lab, the Poor Museum/Bohannon Schoolhouse, and creating the first stages of the Museum's new temporary exhibit, to debut in spring 2019. If you'd like to see what they created, please visit the Main Gallery of the Museum and look for the Curious Curators exhibit case.
