Welcome to the University of ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ Museum of the North Fine Arts Collection. The Museum collects and exhibits works of art from across cultures and historical periods, and currently includes over 4,500 works of art. Connecting past and present views of life in ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ, the collection represents an invaluable record of ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ's cultural richness and aesthetic diversity.

The major focus of the collection is art from ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ - historic through contemporary - and is composed of all major mediums of visual expression. The Museum's art collection offers excellent opportunities to explore the history of human impact on and relationship with ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ's diverse landscape and environment. The art collection has particular strengths in historic and contemporary landscape painting, the largest museum collection of creative photography in ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ, contemporary ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ Native art, and prints and works on paper from historic to contemporary.

To make full use of the art collection's potential, the Museum offers several art exhibitions annually, as well as education programs and public events.

The collection also serves as an important resource for scholarly research in the art and history of ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ, and is an excellent resource for classroom support in the study of drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.
