Dennos Museum Center

The Dennos Museum Center is an art museum located on the Northwestern Michigan College campus that displays works from different periods. It has three exhibition galleries, a sculpture court, and an interactive discovery area for visitors.

The museum began in 1960 when a librarian started collecting Arctic art to organize an exhibition for a fundraising event. That early collection later became the foundation for today's museum.

The museum displays works created by artists from the Canadian Arctic and shows artistic traditions passed down through generations. Visitors can see handmade objects that tell stories and reflect techniques developed in that region.

The location is easy to reach from the campus and the sculpture court is a pleasant place to explore when weather permits. Plan several hours to visit the different galleries and areas.

The museum uses spaces specifically designed for hands-on learning where visitors can directly touch and interact with artworks and objects. This makes the experience especially interesting for families and school groups.
