George Caleb Bingham Gallery

The George Caleb Bingham Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in the Fine Arts Building, within the Department of Art. As the campus’ only contemporary art space, Bingham Gallery serves the entire MU and Columbia community by bringing high-quality, contemporary art exhibits, events, and visiting artists to our campus. Gallery events are always free and open to the public, and the Gallery Committee schedules exhibitions with the most possible educational value, crossing disciplines and collaborating with other departments whenever possible. For a large portion of the gallery’s annual shows, students are the exhibiting artists. Preparing for and mounting a show is an important part of the educational experience for the undergraduate and graduate students in Art program.

Established by Carolyn Wingo in 1967 to support the teaching mission of the Department of Textile and Apparel Management within the College of Human Environmental Sciences at the University of Missouri, the Missouri Historic Costume and Textile Collection collects and preserves clothing and textiles of historic and artistic value for purposes of teaching, research and exhibition. Over 7,000 artifacts range in date from the 19^th to the 21^st century. An additional 4,000 archival resources – books, magazines, illustrations, and photographs - are also maintained within collection holdings. Artifacts are housed in the climate-controlled Josephine Margaret Holik Conservatory and exhibited in the Abigail and Nicholas Filippello Exhibition Showcase in Gwynn Hall on the University of Missouri campus.
