Goldstein Museum of Design

The Goldstein Museum of Design is dedicated to sharing the value of design through its 34,000+ multidisciplinary objects. As an academic teaching museum, we are committed to advancing learning for students as well as the greater community. As the only design museum in the Upper Midwest, we seek to elevate design by generating awareness, promoting understanding, and sustaining its value for generations to come—carrying on the legacy of Harriet and Vetta Goldstein.

GMD's exhibitions explore design, designers, and design thinking. Study of GMD’s unique collection of apparel, decorative arts, graphic design, furniture, and textiles is available to students, faculty, and researchers by appointment.
