Reviews
I can always expect to see a wide variety of well curated exhibits at the museum. I have seen everything from local and regional historical exhibits to art exhibits that range from MFA thesis shows to nationally noted artists. The museum is a great link between SIU and the community of Carbondale and the surrounding region.
