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.
