It provides immersive experiences through exhibitions, events, and educational programming intended to educate and entertain while reflecting the spirit of West Michigan. Its mission is to be a living monument of artifacts, ideas and stories presented through exhibitions, events and educational programming to inspire and celebrate human bonds, enriching the community with broader world experiences framed by a Grand Rapids context. Recent initiatives include launching an interactive digital experience called ab1.bot, partnering with MSUFCU to support educational programming serving more than 45,000 students annually, and developing a new community archives and research center slated to open by the end of 2026. The museum is pursuing a riverfront expansion project, estimated at $50 million, intended to relocate the 1928 Spillman Carousel from the main site to improve accessibility.
