Kruizenga Art Museum Construction Photos

The Kruizenga Art Museum houses and provides exhibition space for the college's Permanent Collection, as well as dedicated curatorial support to help care for the collection and further develop it as a teaching tool.

The museum is named in recognition of a leadership gift from Hope alumni Richard and the late Margaret Feldmann ’52 Kruizenga.
