Background
The South Dakota Art Museum was
first envisioned by the South Dakota Federation of Women’s Clubs in
1949. The South Dakota Memorial Art Center, as it was then called, was
to be dedicated to the pioneers for all the people of South Dakota and
surrounding states. Housed in the museum are the Marghab Linen
Collection and paintings by Harvey Dunn, SDSU alumnus.
Since 1970, the South
Dakota Art Museum has been a place for people from many different
parts of the world to enjoy the artistic legacy of South Dakota in
all its diversity. Permanent galleries, changing exhibitions,
publications, lectures, workshops and guided tours provide the
public, artists, university students and faculty with a variety of
opportunities to learn about art and engage in the centuries-old
dialogue between artist and viewer. Remodeled and expanded in 2000,
the South Dakota Art Museum features 7 galleries, the new Museum
Store and the Kid's Sensation Station.
