Bob and Sue Go to Ball State University Museum of Art

This is Bob and Sue. They go to art museums all the time and know how to behave.

Here, let them show you.

Bob knows he can only take pencils for sketching and taking notes while in the galleries.

Sue knows to leave all beverages and snacks, as well as large bags and bulky coats, in the reception area.

Don’t worry, Sue! A guard will watch over your belongings.

Bob takes pictures everywhere he goes . . .

. . . but he knows flash photography in the museum will hurt the art, so he refrains.

Sue likes to see the world from different perspectives . . .

. . . but she knows lying on the floor of the museum is a bad idea.

Bob likes to get up close and personal when examining art

. . . but he knows touching it is prohibited.

Bob and Sue know a lot about what to do in the museum, but they don’t know that much about this museum.

The BSU Museum of Art is a collection of art from all over the world intended to provoke thought and learning.

The art is organized to illustrate the history of the European tradition of art and expose viewers to the collection.

The BSU Museum of Art also has galleries featuring Ethnographic, Ancient, Asian, and Decorative objects.

It serves as a resource to both Ball State University and the surrounding communities.

We hope that you enjoy your visit to BSU Museum of Art.
