Mission Statement

Tweed Museum of Art is the art museum on the campus of University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). As the steward of a growing permanent collection of more than 11,000 objects, the museum aims to continually improve access for present and future generations through exhibitions, institutional lending, on-request viewing, and digital/online portals. The museum’s exhibition program generates opportunities for close looking and sustained study of original works of art, interdisciplinary teaching and learning, and new research. Housed within UMD’s College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, the Tweed is a cultural asset and resource for students, faculty, staff, and the people of Duluth and throughout Minnesota.
