The muon collider, recently highlighted as recommendation 1 in the U.S. National Academies report on elementary particle physics, offers a unique opportunity for fixed-target experiments with high energy and luminosity. This paper outlines some of the challenges and possibilities for fixed-target experiments to study the multidimensional structure of hadrons at the muon collider. We present a sketch of an experiment making use of the high-energy muon beam from the muon collider that could serve as the next-generation hadronic physics experiment after the Electron-Ion Collider.
