| BUILDING STORIES |
|
Montana Museum of Art & Culture is in the process of raising money for a building, which will serve as a new exciting gateway to the UM campus. In each issue we will highlight ways this building and the work of the museum will support our community and create enriching opportunities.
Important Visiting Exhibits
 With increased gallery space, we have more opportunities to bring world class shows to the museum to share - such as the recent Rembrandt etchings, and the current Pulitzer Prize exhibition.
For more information about the MMAC building project, or to discuss naming opportunities, please call Sara Portzel, Director of Development at 406.241.6894 or contact her by email at sara.portzel@mso.umt.edu.
