So MUSE is hyperspectral? there's a full spectrograph at each pixel?

Exactly! One datacube that comes out from the instrument contains 300 x 300 spectra. This is actually the main capability of the instrument which has 24 individual spectrographs. Here's a nice animation of the path the light takes inside MUSE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fh2Y6Zyhwc&feature=youtu.be...
Awe-inspiring. You can see the individual spectrographs at https://youtu.be/-fh2Y6Zyhwc?t=1089
