MSU Broad Art Museum

Opened in 2012, the 46,000-square-foot MSU Broad Art Museum is located at Michigan State University. Designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, it was named in honor of Eli and Edythe Broad, long-time supporters of the university and advocates for the arts. The museum, although contemporary, has a large collection of historical works that were inherited from the Kresge Art Museum, MSU’s former art museum, when it closed. This collection includes over 10,000 works and growing and represents a wide array of artistic production from the ancient to the present, across the world, in a variety of media. Significant holdings include Ancient Greek and Roman antiquities, pre-Columbian sculptures and vessels, Medieval and Renaissance illuminations, Old Master paintings, 19th-century American paintings, and 20th-century sculpture by artists like Alexander Calder and Jenny Holzer. The collection also features works by contemporary artists such as Chuck Close and Ann Hamilton. The museum’s focus is on expanding its collection with new modern and contemporary works post-1945.
