The Wright Museum’s collections were started in
1893 with a gift. Since then, friends from the
community and Beloit College alumni have given
generously to the Wright, building the collection
to its current size. The generosity continues with
gifts that are making possible the conservation of
important pieces in the collections and the
acquisitions of new works of art.
