Closure Continues in Summer 2021
- - - September 3, 2021 update: We are open! See our newer blog about it here. - - -
The Sindecuse Museum of Dentistry exhibits and workroom are located within a patient care facility. Consequently, to prioritize safety, we will remain closed to the public throughout the summer of 2021.
“It’s been ages…” A 1989 postcard by Wheeler Group, Inc shows a friendly green dinosaur with a toothbrush in their mouth (SMD0010.1927).
Currently, on-site employees, students, and clinic patients at the School of Dentistry are able to access our exhibit spaces once they’ve followed protocol to enter the building, but please note that exhibit lights are dimmed to discourage lingering, especially in hallways or eating areas, and also to preserve our artifacts.

For local, in-person activities, some campus museums are already open for visitors. Check out U-M collections listed here, and view their guidelines before making any plans!
We miss our visitors! We look forward to sharing updated visit guidelines and resuming browsing and tours of our Kellogg Building displays as soon as protocols allow. Once we have an opening date, we will be sure to share it with you in an upcoming blog post.
