AcquisitionsFrom its inception, the collection of the Ball State University Museum of Art has been formed through significant community donations of objects and funds. More than 80 percent of the works have been donated by the community, and just fewer than 20 percent have been purchased with funds donated by the community for this purpose.
In recent decades, the museum has added to its European and American holdings by purchasing works of art from art dealers or at art auctions with funds donated to the museum for that purpose. Significant donations have strengthened the museum's holdings in the areas of Asian, African, Oceanic, and New World cultures.
If you are interested in supporting acquisitions at the museum please visit the Endowed Funds and Give to the Museum pages of this website.
