NDSU MUSEUM

September 16-October 31

NDSU’s Museum and Collections (MAC) is a collaborative concept that links over 17 collections from across campus with teaching, research, and public outreach initiatives. The MAC concept connects specimens, artifacts, and art across the learning community in a non-hierarchical manner that reaches beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. The MAC experience consists of: 1. Portals, which are small public displays that introduce collections in unexpected ways on and off campus, 2. Exhibitions that share the breadth of collections across departments, 3. Relationships, collaboration and curiosity facilitated both regionally and beyond.   

 

In 2024, an Impact Grant from the NDSU Foundation was awarded for the development of a university-wide Museum. This grant has been instrumental in forming a Founding Committee to identify campus collections, as well as in hiring student fellows to brand, promote, research, and inventory artifacts. These efforts have prepared the learning community for the next phase of the Museum's growth. 

 

A special thank you to the Museum Fellows, Founding Committee, Campus Partners, NDSU Foundation Board of Trustees, Plains Art Museum, NDSU Facilities, Vectr 3D, and President David Cook for support and faith in the potential of this project to transform the way we collect, manage and share our resources for the good of our learning community.
