The Crisp Museum houses collections in the categories of history and fine art.

The museum provides changing exhibitions, didactic displays, and educational programs for the University community and the general public. Collections are also available to scholars and students conducting academic research.

Historical Collection

The historical collection contains more recent historical pieces. Much of the collection is comprised of firearms, tools, and artifacts from midwestern river history.
