    @dudethemuseumcat has been very busy lately! Many have stopped by to visit, but he’s not always at work. Dude is in the office most week days and is always at home (and not at the museum) on weekends. Feel free to check in with us first in case he’s away!

    Our @dudethemuseumcat showed up 14 years ago today, on March 8, 2009. He was about one year old then, and has since become an important part of the museum, coming to work five days a week. Here are a few behind the scenes shots of his @delawareonline photo shoot!
