The renovation was complete. The collections were home. And it was time to celebrate.

Crozier was proud to serve as the Collections Care Partner for Ascent Act II — the MSU Museum's gala that brought together art, music, culinary excellence, and student innovation for an unforgettable evening on campus.

Earlier this year, Crozier relocated over 78,000 irreplaceable specimens, from taxidermied bats to elephant skeletons, so the museum could undergo the transformation that made this night possible. That work was the foundation. Ascent Act II was the celebration.

Congratulations to the MSU Museum team on a wonderful evening.
