Memorial Union Gallery

Our Union houses a 1,236-square-foot art gallery that features rotating exhibits.

Exhibition: This is Only a Test

The Memorial Union Gallery, fondly referred to as "the MUG", is managed by UND Art Collections. This beautiful and contemporary gallery hosts multiple art exhibitions each year, with shows that change approximately every 90 days. The MUG primarily features the work of UND Department of Art & Design students, faculty, and visiting artists.

  • 4-5 exhibitions per year
  • Customizable lighting configurations
  • Operated by students, curated by an alumna

This is Only A Test: An Interactive Art Exhibition

This fun art exhibition has two options - walk through and enjoy the art curated from UND's permanent collections OR pick up a case file and become a Secret Agent for the Bureau of Esoteric Oddities. Fine art + escape gallery = the perfect activity to do by yourself or with friends! Free and open to the public.
