To celebrate, the museum is featuring the exhibition "25 Years of Collecting," which showcases selected works from its permanent collection. However much the museum's art offerings have changed through the years, its mission has remained unwaveringly the same. As the museum's founding director, Martin H. Bush once explained: "WSU has an obligation to give its students a sense of the major accomplishments in world art if it is to provide a truly universal education. This will enable students to learn the language of art and develop discriminating tastes to enrich their knowledge of our cultural heritage through the heritage of others and to heighten their perception of the world in which we live."
