The Historic Costume & Textiles Collection Gladys Keller Snowden Gallery is temporarily closed due to the renovation of Campbell Hall. The building construction is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2026 and we hope to resume exhibitions in Campbell Hall when we move back in. Until then, please look for exhibitions of our materials at other venues.
