October 11, 2023- The Hieronymus Mueller Museum public online survey is about to close.
The survey is to collect information for long-term planning and updating its permanent exhibit at the Mueller Museum. All Central Illinois residents are invited to participate in the survey.
The survey only takes 4 minutes to complete. It collects your preferences for:
• Guided tours and other museum services or amenities
• How much time you like to spend in a museum
• What, if anything, prevents you from visiting the Hieronymus Mueller Museum
• What topics and hands-on interactives you might like to see in a new exhibit
Participants will get to see images from the museum’s collection and rate them based on how interesting they are to them. The information will help museum staff and the Board of Directors plan for updating its 2,000 square foot permanent exhibit in the next few years.
The survey is open through Friday, October 13th.
To complete the online survey, visit www.MuellerMuseum.org/survey.
“The current exhibit has served the museum well over the past 20 years,” Museum Director, Katherine Unruh, said. “But it’s time for a refresh. By completing the online survey, you’ll provide valuable input about what you would like to see at the Hieronymus Mueller Museum.”
“You do not need to be familiar with the Hieronymus Mueller Museum or Mueller Company in order to complete the survey,” Unruh said. “In fact, you’re encouraged to complete the survey even if you’ve never visited the museum before, or if it has been a long time since you visited.”
The Hieronymus Mueller Museum is owned and operated by a private, non-profit organization: the Hieronymus Mueller Family Foundation. It tells the story of Hieronymus Mueller, his family, and the company he founded.
The museum, which is located near downtown Decatur, at 420 W. Eldorado Street, is open to the public Tuesdays-Saturdays from 1-4pm. Admission is $2 for adults, $1 for children, and free for all Mueller Company employees and retirees.
