Celebrating the University of Nebraska State Museum’s 150th anniversary, Governor Pete Ricketts signed a proclamation declaring “State Museum Day” on June 14. The proclamation — signed during a ceremony at the Nebraska University State Museum — honors the state museum system and acknowledges the important cultural contributions made by all museums across Nebraska. It was signed by Ricketts in observance of the anniversary of the day the University’s Board of Regents signed the charter to establish the museum. June 14, 2021.
