How much do you know about American history and government?
Originally inspired by artist Rayyane Tabet’s own experience preparing for the US citizenship exam, 128 Civics Questions unfolds across the museum and also extends outward across Michigan State University's campus, including the MSU Office for Inclusive Excellence and Impact, MSU College of Law, Michigan State University College of Communication Arts & Sciences, James Madison College at Michigan State University, Beal Botanical Garden, MSU Libraries, Michigan State University Museum, and the Michigan State University College of Music.
You’ll encounter questions that seem like philosophical inquiries—both familiar and out of place. In turn, you’re invited to reflect on your knowledge of American history and what it means to become American in our contemporary moment.
