A Mississippi State University museum is open again after being closed for repairs and renovations.

The museum, housed in the Cobb Institute of Archaeology, has hosted numerous exhibits ranging from Mississippi Native Americans' arrowheads to figurines from the deserts of Israel.

On exhibition currently are archaeological research pieces as well as some objects from the department's permanent Middle East collection.

The museum is open Monday-Friday, 1-4 p.m. Tours will be conducted through May 15 and may be arranged one week in advance by telephoning Kathy Elliott at (601) 325-3826.
