According to the F-M tourism website, the Memorial Union Gallery opened during Homecoming Week in 1953 because students and alumni wanted a place dedicated to art to help fulfill NDSU’s Land Grant Mission. The gallery underwent a massive renovation from 2005 – 2007.
The gallery hosts a permanent including pieces from noted artists including Andy Warhol, Oscar Howe, and Frank Stella. The Memorial Union also owns collections from Ralph Engel, the Lakeside Studio, and NDSU student works.
