Collections
In fulfilling its mission as an educational resource, the Gregg Museum maintains collections of art, craft, and design for teaching, research, and preservation as well as a library of materials related to the collections.
About Our Collections
The Gregg Museum’s permanent collection of more than 50,000 objects includes major holdings in textiles and apparel, ceramics, photography, Native American art, design and decorative arts, folk art, and works by self-taught artists. The museum also maintains an education collection of materials similar to those in the permanent collection, which can be used to enhance understanding through up-close, experiential learning.
We believe in making art accessible. Objects from the museum’s permanent collection are periodically used in exhibitions, but are not always on view in the gallery spaces. Collection items not on display may be viewed at any time via the Gregg’s online catalog, and are also available for in-person research and study by appointment.
