    Schedule Changes

    Exciting changes are coming to Baylor's campus this fall with the opening of McLane Stadium. Although there is a comprehensive plan for traffic and parking on Baylor campus during games, we are uncertain of the impact on the museum operation. As a result, we plan to close the museum for the first two home games of the 2014 football season, on August 31 and September 6.

    Mayborn Museum staff will observe traffic flow during the first two games and consider all aspects to determine our game day schedule for the remainder of the 2014 season. Sic 'Em Bears!
