Morrill Hall Flooded, First Floor Closed | Lincoln News

Morrill Hall at the University of Nebraska State Museum is back open today after surviving a wild storm that dumped over five inches of rain per hour and whipped winds hitting 60 mph — but not without a price: the first floor’s carpets, flooring, and a few display cases took a hit from flooding. Thankfully, major exhibits like the Dolan murals, Marx Discovery Center, Photo Ark, and Hall of Nebraska Wildlife are untouched. The museum’s still assessing the damage and won’t reopen the first floor until next week — stay tuned for an official reopening date.
