The Iowa State Memorial Union has an exhibit of thirty-five artworks chosen from our Permanent Art Collection, including prints, paintings, photography, clay, glass, fibers, and mixed media. Selections from the Memorial Union Permanent Collection will be on display through February 9, and the hours are Monday through Friday from 11am to 4pm and Sunday from 1 to 4pm. The show features pieces from the 1930s to the 2020s, many of which have not been on display for over ten years.  

The MU is home to an impressive Permanent Art Collection that features nearly 375 pieces. As you stroll through the halls, attend events, or visit offices, you are surrounded by artwork that enhances the atmosphere and enriches our visitors' experience. This collection showcases a diverse range of artistic styles and mediums, each piece telling its own story.
